At the top of the clutch pedal in the cab of the truck.
I have a 1985 dodge pickup with a 225 slant six and a 3 speed overdrive transmission how do i adjust the clutch.
You can adjust the clutch pedal free play but not the clutch itself.
i would go for a new clutch assembly first
on top of the upper intake there is a screw. it can be used to adjust idle speed.
The clutch is not adjustable. The hydraulic master/slave cylinder assembly self compensates for wear. You have a problem with the clutch of master/slave.
you cannit adjust the clutch without changing to an adjustable clutch cable. b&m makes a good one with and ajustable quadrant that allows you to adjust it on your firewallNew Answeryou can adjust the clutch quadrant by pushing the pedal all of the way down and dumping it. you will hear a pop and that's the spring in the factory quadrant resetting itself. or you can also pull the pedal up as far as it will go and that will adjust it if it's a little loose.
Assuming it has the sixteen speed Eaton box it will have a twin plate clutch. Measure the gap from the between the release bearing and the front of the gearbox, it should be 13mm, i use a 1/2" ext. To adjust it you need to turn the engine until you can see a removable locking plate held in with a 9/16" headed bolt. remove this plate and with the clutch pushed down you can turn the inner ring, there is a proper tool but you can do it with a small strong bar. Remeasure it with the pedal released, turn the ring clockwise to decrease the gap. When the locking tab is getting to point where is almost proud of the castellations on the inner ring it is time to change the clutch. If it has the zf gearbox there is no adjustment.
That is the idle adjustment. Turn it clockwise to increase the idle speed, counter-clockwise to lower the idle speed. You should not adjust the idle until your engine is fully warmed up, about 5 minutes of running. Adjust the idle speed to just over 1,000 RPM with the clutch in and the transmission in 1st gear. This is the most load your Bonneville will have at idle speed. You may need a bit of assistance for this, take care to hold the clutch in tightly if you lean over to adjust the idle by yourself.
There are no adjustments on a HYDRAULIC CLUTCH SYSTEM. The clutch disc is ether worn out, or the clutch slave cylinder is going bad. Is the clutch master cylinder full of fluid ?? If not there is a leak in the system, and you are not depressing the throw out bearing far enough. and that makes it hard to shift.
The clutch is draging/ not disingauging all the way.you need to adjust the free play in cable.If it is a juice clutch may need to blead it. good luck, ben
you need to bleed the clutch it is under the truck on the passeger side and there is a bleeder value on the side of slave cylinder and pump the clutch with hand just like you do your brakes you need help so you can losein the value and make sure the resvor is full of fluid repeat and it should get the way you want it You also need to make sure that the rod that pushes on the clutch mater cylinder is adjusted properly. If not, it will not push fluid out.
Remove inspection plate on bottom of transmission, bar the engine until you visualy see the adjuster on clutch, press clutch pedal, push in and turn adjuster clockwise until about two inches of free travel at clutch pedal is achieved (5/8 socket for adjuster)
