1985 60 build, with 78 2F and 4 speed out of donor 78 40 series. Rebuilt engine, runs great, put in original clutch because it was good per the FSM and this is a budget build, not a daily driver. Flywheel and pressure plate was good, clutch was ok per FSM, new master and slave (correct for 85, 60) and everything appears to be bled and operating good. If I back the clutch adjustment out so the release bearing has the correct play then the clutch is not disengaging enough to shift the tranny with the engine running. If I increase the pressure on the throw out bearing to the point I believe the throw out would be turning all the time I can shift while engine is running, but not into reverse? The rig is on jack stands and when it is cranked in to the point I can shift, The drive shaft is still turning even in neutral...a little, it eventually stops but apparently there is still friction there...maybe that's normal and I can just see it because I'm on jack stands. The disc cannot be backwards because it does disengage some and chages with the length applied to the adjustment rod on the slave.
I checked and the only different parts between the 60 and 40 were the slave, fork and mount, I have the proper ones in, also the throw out or release bearing and the disc are the same part# between the two...Ideas...other than the "you should have put in a new clutch disc, pressure plate..blah..blah" I'm not being a smart ass but this is on a budget..so ..Helpful thoughts...
