I am in need of some info about the amount of distance there should be between the TO bearing and the fingers on the pressure plate. It seems I have about 1"+ with the Adjusting Rod nut all the way to the end. Kook asked if I had the right pressure plate. Got it from Jim Carter so I believe it is right. Seem that the Adjusting Rod needs more length.
Any ideas?

Funny you should bring this up now--I'm in the middle of a clutch job on my 63 pickup. The manual I have says there should be 1/8 to 1/4 inch between the TO bearing and the diaphragm fingers, which is equal to about 3/4 to 1 inch of movement at the pedal. Hope this helps you.

SHould be about 3/4 in. to 1 in. of pedal movement(free-play)


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Could you have the wrong t/o bearing. Chevy used basically 2 bearings -- a short bearing (1.25 " ) and a tall bearing (1.87 ")
