In the ongoing battle with my truck, I fount that the clutch linkage repair parts I got from TW Ford in Tacoma this morning were actually the right size for my application! Although I got the linkage apart after making a tool to remove a lever off of a splined shaft, I found there was not enough room to put it all back together again. So I had to virtually remove all the guts of my dashboard to install the new parts. "Murphy" fought me tooth and nail in my attempts until I did an end-run around him and kicked his ass.
Washing up to test drive it now. Will add report when I get back.
Well that was an interesting experience, I am happy to report that for the first time since I have owned this truck, the clutch IS working properly! It now has full pedal travel and return, and the system now generates enough hydraulic pressure for complete disengagement of the pressure plate from the clutch disk. The relief of the constant drag from the previously partial release of the disk has improved the ease of gear shifting by at least 500%.
I DECLARE VICTORY ON MY CLUTCH REPAIR!
