Mark T Posted Friday at 09:58 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:58 PM I'm sure you know this, but make sure all that release lever adjustment stuff is freed up while it's out in the open, and the shafts and bushings are in good shape. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75366-clutch-swap/page/2/#findComment-572862 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted Saturday at 12:44 PM Share Posted Saturday at 12:44 PM The clutch brakes exist in different thicknesses. The reason I belive is to compensate the flywheel cut off and possibly cut on the tranny housing where it gets onto either. But I have no idea on how to calculate the excees of the thickness. And those I bought +3/8" were still thin for my cases 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75366-clutch-swap/page/2/#findComment-572906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joey Mack Posted Saturday at 07:05 PM Popular Post Share Posted Saturday at 07:05 PM on newer set-ups, I have seen a redish fiber disc that goes between the clutch brake and the tranny to give an extra grip. To me, the bigger issue is drivers that dont know that they are not to push the clutch all the way down when shifting gears. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75366-clutch-swap/page/2/#findComment-572940 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once put 2 clutch brakes in a Mack with a 12 speed and a new clutch the guy brought with the truck. There was that much space between the bearing and the front of the transmission....and it worked (lol) Jojo, you sure you're not thinking of one of those clear acrylic shafts between two trannys ? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75366-clutch-swap/page/2/#findComment-572945 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark T Posted Saturday at 07:55 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:55 PM Seriously. I have no idea what was mismatched in that one. The release yoke was where it belonged and all and there was almost an inch behind the bearing (without a brake. I slid the transmission back and put an entire second brake in it. Never bothered it in the least. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75366-clutch-swap/page/2/#findComment-572948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted Saturday at 08:21 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:21 PM Ive done that before when i was a new guy. I just did what i was told... I think it was an X-107, heck there were some with a spring loaded clutch brake, but I would have to open a book, instead of my brain to work on that set up....

Never bothered it in the least. Something was cut "a bit" more than that could be. What doesn't really surprize in an old truck. And putting two brake disks is an improvement. Since you have two sets of internal pins in action as the result. I also noted that the intermediate plate which you fit between two clutch disks I had in my truck was notably thinner than one in a used clutch set I bought ocassionally. Very notable difference, something like 9/16 compared to 3/4. Would hardly influence the pressure plate adjustment position and clutch brake travel.

Nathanwhit1 Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago Well what an 🤬🤬🤬 day 🤣🤣🤣. Went to connect the clutch lever up and the lever would move properly. When I looked in the bell hosing the release bearing was the wrong way round 🤬🤬. So after an hour of swearing and head banging I managed to take the fork to bits so I could spin the bearing the right way it was all connected and working. So next stop is road test in a couple of days. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75366-clutch-swap/page/2/#findComment-573237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
