    for future reference, ive never had one of those chambers not slightly leak and turn into a big leak at the clamp. the diaphragms are usually the cheapest and thinnest you could use, i tried like mad to re set one that i knew i had recently put on and the only way to stop the leak was a quality diaphragm.

    That tool ya got for holding down the clutch is smart! I’ve tried fighting a brake depressor in but I’ve had bad luck with that, I usually toss the new guy in and tell him to hold the pedal lol

    Why would you want 2 inches of clutch play in the pedal?

    • @RCGdiesel
      @RCGdiesel  5 місяців тому +4

      @6Diego1Diego9 That is the spec. As long as the linkage has not been messed with, it should give you a 1/2 between clutch brake and throwout bearing. I couldn't show the other measurements because the clutch brake was missing.

      With no free play. The clutch could potentially not be engaging completely . And maybe slipping .
