Ok...so here is what is going on...
1970 FJ40 mounted to a GMC 292 straight 6.
When I push the clutch in, the arm that runs from the slave cylinder into the tranny clutch assembly rattles. I tried to adjust the push rod on the slave cylinder with no luck. I have good pressure on the clutch pedal and both the slave and master cylinders are new...around 1k miles on them.
Here are some other things that have cropped up...the fly wheel does not spin down when I push the clutch in (this isn't something that happens all the time though, just more often than not). If I put it in neutral, the fly wheel spins, when I push the clutch in, it still spins and I can't put it into gear. This is also a problem when trying to down shift from 3 to 2nd gear. There has never been an issue with upshifting from 1 to 2 to 3. One of the things I did not do when I worked on the car was replace the clutch assembly b/c it was working great when I started. Maybe I should have?
Hoping its not a clutch replacement needed, even though I have seen some videos on how to do it, I don't know that I have the knowledge to do it well. Any suggestions or ideas are welcome...
