Odd Slave Cyl. Mounting

[cumminscruiser]

This is my '68 FJ40 with '93 Vortec V6, FJ60 4 speed AA bell housing. It looks like the clutch fork is a little short, the slave just does not line up very good. I'm using a stock slave cylinder and stock clutch fork.

Ideas?

That's about the way mine looks and it has never been a problem. The alignment gets better when the clutch is depressed. Is that a big drip of brake fluid coming at your camera lens off the banjo fitting?

yep, mine looks like that and has never been a problem.

Hmm...my history is a little rough...did an FJ40 ever come with a Chevy engine from the from the factory? Or an AA bellhousing? That could be the problem...

Whenever you put things in a Landcruiser that weren't intended to be there originally you're going to run into installation/fitment issues.

Does Pamela Anderson have all stock equipment ? I don't think that's a problem.

That shaft on the slave does not look correct neither does the bango fitting but the slave is...as long as the shaft stays in the fork socket I would not worry about it.

Slave Cylinder

I did shorten the shaft on the slave cylinder to make it work, yea the banjo might be wrong as well. But I keep thinking I have the wrong fork.

Banjo is not a problem. Used in hydraulic brake lines all the time. Just need to make sure copper washers are in good shape. Copper !!!! not Brass!!!
