Sorry for the basic question guys, but I've been off the forum for awhile and need to start fresh. My '70 440 Challenger needs clutch adjustment. When I'm not in gear, I can hear the pressure plate engaging until I push the clutch in. Ummm...is this normal?
I'm pretty sure I have the adjustment backed off pretty far, just a little more than finger tight. Can someone walk me through the basic procedure.
Also it shifts like crap, even after I tried to line up all the levers with the 1-2 and 3-4 rods disconnected. I bought new brewers 1-2 and 3-4 shift levers but haven't installed them yet, the ones in the car dont look correct.
Sounds to me like the throw out bearing is not attached to the shift fork properly.. If both clips aren't attached to the fork, the throw out bearing will be cocked and touch the fingers of the pressure plate. Try backing the adjuster off all the way. If the noise goes away, then what I'm saying is probably true.. This will also make for lousy shifting as the clutch won't totally disengage. Good luck.
