Hello All,
I have a 59 Apache 3200 with a 283, SM420 and original mechanical clutch. I did some searches but never came up with a good example of what I am experiencing with my clutch. This is my first vehicle with a clutch; I never really abused it though I used it to learn. I have tried to use it as sparingly as possible in city traffic. My truck may or may not have turned over but it is showing 22k (original pedals are very lightly worn). My truck has a very slack pedal it goes to the floor before I can change gears though I do hear it chatter almost as soon as I start pushing down on it. I know that 1st and reverse are not synchro-ed but I have to wait a few seconds before I can use them without any grinding. Some folks that heard about it said I might have a low clutch or require some adjustments. Also I am unable to down shift if I am already in a gear, I need to pull it out of gear make a stop then start off again. Would anyone be able to tell me if I need a replacement or if I need to get it adjusted?
Thanks in advance
