Clutch slave probs

[Radd Cruisers]

Just finished our HZJ 45 build and the clutch slave although pushing all the way out is not dissengaging the clutch????

disc in backwards?! i've seen it happen, although i'd never admit that i've ever done that.

I once had a clutch job where I had to make a slave cylinder pushrod in order to get use of the full motion of the slave cylinder. This sounds like your problem too.

Could be the case, it sure looks like its getting full travel?

I may get under it this morning and push it further and see if that works.

I'm still puzzled as to why this happened, but here's my limited experience: When my stock slave (rebuilt a couple times) and master (original 64) both puked a couple months ago, I decided to buy the 'upgrade kit' from CCOT with new lines and everything. For some reason, the slave rod (re-using the original one) was too short. I cut it and sleeved it with some 1/2" tube to lengthen it about an inch. It works fine now.

It may have had something to do with the fact that I had been running a large-bore early master with a smaller-bore later slave so I got extra travel from the slave due to the mismatch (that way from the PO). And maybe later slaves are supposed to have shorter rods than earlier ones?

Now that sounds like my problem, thanks.

How long has it been sitting? I used to have to pry my clutch disc off the flywheel with a putty knife after my truck sat for a long time ('54 Chev). Kept a putty knife in the jockey box and a board in the back just the right length to wedge between the seat and the floor (to hold the clutch pedal down while I crawled underneath).

Its throwing out plenty and far enough, must be glued to the pressure plate?????

Not sure how long its sat for, I figure quite some time.

Pry bar next.

Okay, today I put it in 4-Low and hit the litttle 1HZ diesel hard, had the tires chirpping with the clutch push in.

Would not break free, could not get access to put a pry bar between the clutch and housing.

Looking like the transmission is coming out AAAAAARGH.
