82 Pickup, 4wd - Clutch Pedal bottoms out...no joy! - Ford Forums

12-09-2005, 08:01

my clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor...but takes very little
pressure off of the flywheel.

I have the thingy at the flywheel, almost maxed out.

Something went @#$@#$ and the pedal went to the floor...

When I push the clutch pedal the brake pedal moves in sync...the two
pedals..will
tilt left then right....

I know I have plenty of clutch wear left...Its not even 1 yr old.

it's the pedal assembly...I think the lever going to the plate is
slipping????

hep hep, i gotta goto work and make that money! today is payday

Doubt it, but there's good reason to disassemble and figger it out.

Well... there's ALWAYS ford-trucks.com

And I thought you had the problem nailed, yourself... you gonna have to
pull out that pedal assembly. And look close at the clutch quadrant or
whatever they use in the pickup...

That would be it, if the vehicle was a Fox Mustang/Fairmont.. etc

that sounds like it could hurt my back, (pulling out the pedal
assembly)

yeah, I don't know what else to do...it looks like to me, one of the
levers under the hood
has slipped. I don't know that, I suspect that. Im also wondering if I
have bent the fly
will spork :) I've been tightening it more and more for about a month.
(tightening it made
my gears change oh so nice
