I'm re-assembling my '41 3/4 ton after a complete restoration, which included a new pressure plate and throw out bearing (all stock). The engine runs fine and the transmission shifts fine with the engine off. Last night I put wheels on for the first time, started the engine, put the transmission in reverse, with the clutch pedal depressed, and the rear wheels immediately engaged and the vehicle started to take off (with clutch pedal still depressed). The nuts on the hook-shaped bolt that connects the clutch pedal to the clutch fork are adjusted all the way in, which if I'm correct would not cause the pressure plate to bind against the flywheel. The clutch pedal feels normal when you depress it. There are no unusual noises. What is wrong here? Do you think I have something together wrong, or perhaps is the new pressure plate just sticking to the flywheel? Any thoughts?
