I needed to have the clutch swapped on my '53 3100. After getting it back from the shop, the pedal only returns
to about 2/3 of the total range, in other words there are several inches of free travel. This has never been
the case in the 50+ years I have been driving this truck. The adjustment
(nuts A and B as described in the shop manual) is all the way forward. When I adjusted the nuts further
down the linkage threads, it resulted in the pedal being at rest even closer to the floorboard (i.e., even more "free travel).
Any thoughts on what happened here? Did the shop use the wrong clutch kit? Could there be something mis-installed?
I will check in with the shop next week, but I'm sure people in this forum have more experience with these trucks.
