*That part at **5:45** was great. The whole video was informative but that part at the end really showed the operation of the clutch brake in way that transcends words. Thank you!*
Sitting next to my tool Box now with a clutch break in one hand and phone in the other learning how to install it lol, this is new to me, I just put a transmission in this truck, new clutch and resurfaced the flywheel, now it all need to go back together
You have a big play in your input shaft pilot barring maybe that’s why your going through them so much .. My best guess is that your pilot barring is bad and is causing play in your input shaft . By now your input shaft neck barring is worn out causing it to flop around .
This is actually the truck from my flywheel housing replacement video. The pilot bearing was good the problem was the driver was pushing the clutch all the way and engaging the clutch brake while still moving. Its been fine since I asked him about it. It’s understandable when plowing you get in a hurry plowing intersections and it’s a lot of back and forth while dodging traffic. I appreciate your help though. I’ll keep that in mind if it comes up again. Thank you
Im sorry I’m not sure the thickness and I don’t have an extra one to measure. The clutch being out of adjustment can be a reason the. Clutch brake doesn’t work also. With someone holding the clutch pedal down it should be able to hold a .010 shim between the clutch brake and the throw out bearing. I have a video on how to adjust a clutch and it goes over that.
It won’t stop the transmission so you can put the vehicle in first or reverse without grinding the gears. If the clutch brake doesn’t work the transmission input will keep spinning and from a stopped position it will grind going into gear. If you can spin the clutch brake disk on the input shaft then it is bad.
Thanks for the quickest reply ever dude . Yea my truck gives issues with going into gear when trucks been running for a while . I’ve changed everything and nothing
The clutch brake should not spin on the input shaft if it does it’s bad and not an adjustment issue. If it doesn’t spin on the shaft then with the clutch depressed fully you should be able to put a .010 feeler gauge between the clutch brake and the throw out bearing and it should get pinched between them and be held in there when you depress the clutch. If it doesn’t then the throw out bearing isn’t traveling far enough and needs to be adjusted.
