clutch pedal close to the floor at the end of a pull? - Competition Diesel.Com

*GOT-Torque* · 07-15-2010, 11:37 PM

On my second hook with a triple disk (which is holding/engaging just fine) the pedal seemed really low at the end of the hook when I went to push it in. After a min or so, it seemed to be back to normal...

Causes? nature of the beast?

RPM's?

You ain't the only one havin the issue, think the other guys are attributing it to high RPM's.

SBC??? RPM should not affect this, should go out if anything not down!

I know a CR that's havin those issues, and RPM's are causing it. SBC is workin it for him.

Bean also had some bolts coming loose in his clutch too though.

It's a sintered iron clutch, maybe saw 5,000 rpm...

Weighted fingers on the pressure plate?

Maybe its a lot of heat and lots of plates to expand, mine does the same when I get it really hot, the pressure plate can only pull back so far during release that could explain the low pedal. It would take more pull down to drop the fingers on the clutch and cause a low pedal. JMO.

Sounds like a normal south bend problem from what I read. Looks like most competition trucks run a haisleys or kennys.
