dragging clutch, renegade w/kennedy PP and clutch Options

[Dr. Roger]

she's got a new flywheel, PP, T/O bearing, clutch plate, clutch cable, pedal cluster looks and feels good and is well lubed, rear wheel looks and feels good/lubed, bronze rear shifter bushing and good front busings.

i've driven her about 50 miles and have adjusted the clutch 4 times already. every time tightening the adjuster nuts. now it's getting hard to get into gear... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

this doesn't seem to be right.

is this the notorious clutch tube problem???

is there a way to check for this?

big thanks in advance...

Roger

Same thing happened with my Renegade conversion (see my V8 thread in my signature). I had to keep tightening the adjusting nut every few weeks. I changed the jamb nut but still, it seemed like the cable kept stretching. 15K later I roasted my PP fingers and TO bearing. I haven't put it back together yet but I thoroughly checked the clutch tube and added a reinforcement. I may also have had unwanted motion because I'm missing the clip that secures the cable housing to the tranny bracket. Also there's a bit of slop in the bronze bushings in the pedal cluster, which I may have to look into. I'll post when I get it together and try to abjust.
