Hey Guys
I am helping a friend with his 73 FJ40 (F engine, 3 speed tranny).
The truck has low miles and is new to him and we are trying to iron out all the little quirks!
Here are some symptoms:
-If we set the lower slave play to the 3mm recommended in the FSM that throwout squeaks/squeals a little bit. If we put even the slightest tension on it, the noise goes away and all is well.
-The clutch doesnt release until almost at the top of the pedal stroke, which i have read some threads that say this is normal, and some that say how to adjust it. We have everything adjusted to FSM specs and played with the adjustments +/- a fair amount. We have also completely bled the entire system with all new fluid.
-Also, when the clutch is released and the vehicle starts moving, there is quite a bit of vibration/clutch chatter, until load is applied then it goes away.
The catch is, there is ZERO slip, the clutch pulls strong, and all the gears engage easily when the pedal is depressed, telling me that it IS fully engaging.
Any ideas?? Pedal Travel Normal? Vibration?? Throwout? Warped Flywheel?
Thanks
