All right so y'all are knowledgeable and basically my go to knowledge base when I think my mechanics are going to tell me ########. Picture it is the clutch for an Eaton Fuller 10 speed, gears hold fine and there isn't a grinding noise, but all I have to do is depress the clutch pedal by about 3 inches and it comes totally out of gear... I had to slipride the clutch use a lot for the Minor Adjustments around these tanks so I understand the clutch feeling a little worn.. but it basically being right at the top I'm not sure about . I never learned or had anyone to show me exactly what the spacing ought to look like, what are your guys opinions? Have to go through a wash station about 5 times a night that will shoot water straight up into that too by the way, could use y'all's input on whether or not the guard should be put back on
clutch right at the top

Bearing to clutch brake 1/2" by adjusting internal @ clutch. 1/8" fork to bearing gap by adjusting linkage. Done
Rideandrepair, Dino soar, Dave_in_AZ and 4 others Thank this. -
i sense i'll be youtube viewing and googling rest of the night.. because that technical and reasonable response got me thinking: I don't actually know what any of these individual parts LOOK like. I know what they do just not what they look like. <---#######.

Some trucks require periodic adjustment of the clutch brake and what not.
Some mechanics can make it last. Others not so much.
There could be other factors that cause it to not hold also. I've never looked inside there yet.GOTSEASON8SUCKED Thanks this. -
Hopefully it’s adjustable.
If it’s an Eaton solo self adjusting clutch it could be nearing the end of its useful life.
Also if it’s a solo clutch there is an indicator on the pressure plate you can view thru the bell housing access hole to see how much life you have left. -
Dino soar, snowman_w900 and AModelCat Thank this.

There's wear marks / indicator on the clutch. Most of them. Get someone to bump it, or you do it and keep crawling under until you can see it.
That save you a lot of time, knowing if there's any left. -
