Jim, you do need SOME play in pedal, about 1" or so before it pushes hard or
it rides on throw-out bearing and it is always spinning the bearing, which
can make several types of noises. Much like if you have reg adjustment and
then start to push on pedal, you can hear a noise until you let off. Have to
have a good spring on pedal to pull back all the way too. You have that?
should be long one going from pedal linkage to bracket with hole on frame or
just a hole in frame at top side. Sometimes these have a wire extension used
with them too. Lots of times missing or replaced by "cobbled" set-up. Check
an Assembly Manual on it.

Subject: [oletrucks] Clutch Adjustments
Well for the past 6 months my truck (45 half ton) was grinded going into
1st, 2nd and reverse. So I decided to take some of the play out of the
clutch. I found the two nuts on the eye bolt. Then I tightened them down
(moving toward the cab) until the play was gone, I removed about 1 inch from
the pedal movement. Now I can go to all of the gears without a grind.
However I now seem to have at all speeds a low humming that seems to be
coming from the transmission. Did I over tighten this adjustment? Since I
have no idea what I am doing - it is all guess work I need you input. It
could have always been there and I was not listening for it, but I think
this is a new sound. Can it be caused by my adjustment.
It is cold enough to snow - maybe we could get it tonight........
Better check that antifreeze - do not want to blow a freeze plug like last
fall!
Thanks,
