I put a new clutch in my 71 Duster today, and I have it adjusted all the way to the end of the rod and the clutch pedal is halfway down still...it's like the adjusting rod needs to be longer......but it was fine before I took it apart....and the new plate disc and to bearing looked identical to the old parts.....

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

(Old F--t, Huh)

Double checked, everything installed correctly....I never took off the bellhousing, z-bar, or clutch fork......dropped the clutch and flywheel out the bottom of the bellhousing.......

These are not issues. Appearance can vary greatly and the installed height will be the same."
