Lately when driving the car seems as if my feet are hitting each other when on the clutch and brake at the same time... funny my feet are not that big lol. I've attached a pic of what i found this morning when i went looking at the pedal assy. so my question is .... if i clip the bailing wire that the po put on there can i just slip the pedal off and clean it up find the right size roll pin and put it all back together or will i need to pull the whole assy? Was planning on re building it this coming winter, just want to drive the pumpkin now that it is nice out side.
thanks |

Does your pedal have the spring so that the pedal pulls down with no cable attached?? That's the way it is suppose to be. . . . Your picture shows the pedal in the fully upright position but I can't see if the cable is attached. .
Tightening the cable at the trans will pull the pedal up to where you have the top 1/2 inch play. At rest, the arm should be angled forward towards the engine when the T/O bearing makes first contact with the clutch. . {That's what the ball shim exercise was to adjust} If the trans end of the cable's 11mm nuts go too far down, add a metal thinwall pipe to extend where they sit on the cable Properly adjusted, you should feel resistance immediately when depressed. . If the cable is really too long, and you have excess play when depressing the pedal, this is a sign the bosen tube had broken lose, at the rear body bulkhead or in the body tunnel and is flexing under strain. |
