Clutch slipping question - HELP PLEASE!

[Juggernaut]

Thanks for the input guys! All good replies!!

jhv48, my oil level still shows full, so maybe the rear main seal is okay & it is a weak pressure plate?

Sam, I have a fork actuated t/o bearing, I know the way it is now, completely hooked including the return spring, I can't wiggle the fork with the pedal not depressed. I'll try adjusting that again.

JWD, how can I tell that the t/o bearing is just off the fingers of the pressure plate? I can't see the t/o bearing.

I hope these aren't stupid questions but as I said, I'm trying to learn this tranny stuff.

Juggernaut,

If the rear seal is leaking, it would have to be really bad to show up on the dipstick. Your delima doesn't sound like a rear seal leaking, but more like an adjustment problem. You should be able to see the oil if the seal is leaking.

Try to adjust the clutch where there is no pressure on the clutch fork at all when the clutch pedal is at rest.

Cobras are not notoriosly hard on clutches mainly because of their light weight. A generic clutch should work well behind a basic 289 ... at least for a while.

Good luck!
