determine whether trouble is actually in the clutch.
Check the clutch linkage to be sure the clutch releases
fully as follows:
1. With engine running and brake on, hold the clutch
pedal approximately 1/2" from floor mat and move shift lever
between first and reverse several times. If this can be done
smoothly, the clutch is fully releasing. If shift is not smooth,
clutch is not fully releasing and adjustment is necessary.
2. Check clutch pedal bushings for sticking or excessive
wear.
3. Check fork for proper installation on ball stud. Lack
of lubrication on fork can cause fork to be pulled off the ball.
4. Check for bent, cracked or damaged cross shaft levers
or support bracket.
5. Loose or damaged engine mounts may allow the
engine to shift its position causing a bind on clutch linkage
at the cross shaft. Check to be sure there is some clearance
between cross shaft and both mount brackets.
6. Check clutch release bearing and clearance between
spring fingers and front bearing retainer on the transmission.
If no clearance exists, fork may be improperly installed on
ball or clutch disc may be worn out.
