br549 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 If it's the old push mack style clutch you adjust the free travel with the outside linkage. They had a spacer that was bolted in between the pressure plate and the flywheel that if it was slipping and had free travel you could take out and it would put more pressure on the clutch disc. Some time it would work and sometime not. Are you slipping or just need to adjust free travel.

terry Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I have a feeling he has a real old single disc clutch that was before you adjusted them on the pressure plate like a double disc is. the only adjustment is in the linkage. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58724-clutch-adjustment/#findComment-451133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
