Excellent tutorial on the process of making a simple clutch adjustment. A shop in my town will charge $400.00 for that procedure. This vid saved me time and money. Good Job, thanks.

The BEST explanation ever! Crystal clear without the family, the dogs, the garbage truck outside or yeah, the airplanes. Thank you sir, great job!!!

Your one of the best mechanic I have seen.you ain't afraid to admit if you might have possibly done something wrong.and always give the best advice keep up the great work.

5 stars on that bud!!! You explained it like a pro. I would like to have you as my mechanic!! Good beneficial video

[@rosie1964]

I CAN'T EXPRESS my appreciation enough..... thanks for not being a foul mouthed mechanic

[@ScottWarder]

I appreciate your explanation of this process.. I adjusted the clutch on my 2011 Pete 386/18 speed yesterday and got the clutch brake working well and had just a touch over .5" spacing but yet I had 2.25" of pedal travel. I was a bit worried since "everybody" says "no more than 2" free play".. After considering what it would take to adjust the linkage on my truck, I said screw that and left it alone.. I'm glad I did. Everything is working fine so I'm not worried about another .25" of free play.. Thanks again. Your videos are very helpful!!

[@SuperWD9]

That's the best clutch adjustment procedure video I've ever seen. Clear and easy to understand. Thank you!

Great idea with the custom socket. Definitely the path of least resistance. I'm a driver, not a wrench turner and this made it clear how simple it is to replace these on our old 379s. Man it's irritating to not have a clutch brake!

Good day, my friend. One more time, thanks for your very informative videos. I read the Bible and it states “is better to give than to receive”. You are giving knowledge and patience on each of your videos. God bless you and your family and business.

[@luashelton9320]

Thank you ! This is a five star video. Much needed, as my clutch brake is skunking me on the construction job sites. Can't come off the pile in style when I dump a load . They don't have time for slow clutch brakes .

[@markchodroff250]

Your work and camera work is amazing! Your always in a good mood even when things go bad , great videos!

[@rickrogers2649]

We used to use a 5/16 bolt (1/2 in. head) and weld a piece of threaded rod to it for a feeler gauge to check the throwout to clutch clearance. Just found your channel. Great videos you put up! You are very talented in all phases of the trucking business.and should be very proud of your skills.

[@Ezrider359]

Great idea thank you

[@dgronzega8073]

Yeah, using the 5/16 bolt idea. I'd just use a torch and flatten the threaded end down

[@rockpile332]

Nice job. I understood everything you said. The video was fine, it showed what it needed too. You have a way of explaing things that's easy to absorb. The best was your explanation of the 2"-3" of free play not really meaning that much but rather the 1/2" of clearence between throughout bearing and clutch brake means a lot. Thank you!

[@billygreenhorn9275]

Great vid! You explained it better than any mechanic I've spoken to!

[@douglasfark169]

Really well explained and good footage of the black hole inside the inspection hole. I assumed I had the old style clutch in my 1989 379 Pete, but when I got in there it had been upgraded to the new style by the previous owner. Subscribed and thanks again

[@southfork67]

Great video. I just bought a ‘66 Pete dump truck that has a Fuller reman RTO12513. Clutch brake isn’t working at all. Now I know what to look for and where to go from there. I sure appreciate folks like you who share procedures like this. 👍

I have a 10 speed Eaton I recently had the clutch replaced because it was getting hard to go into first in reverse from a stop. Seems like it fix the problem for about two weeks no I’m right back at the same place my friend said the same thing happened to his truck also exactly……any ideas? Supposedly I have the best clutch that you can buy fully automatic they told me.

@@roz4747 Firstly confirm that you have 1/8” gap between fork and release bearing then between the release bearing and clutch brake you have a measured gap greater than 1/2” less than 9/16”. Then confirm throw of clutch to achieve clutch braking 1/2” from pedal touching floor of cab.

Good stuff... my 2015 t680 started to slip just a little when I was taking off in morning, usually merging when I am mashing it... made it 3000 miles home and had clutch replaced.

Glad you said 1/2 extension for checking because I didn't know what I was going to use. Thank you for the video

[@jimmyFX]

That's the only way..adjust clutch first..I use 1/2 extension aswell..works great.. Alot of mechanics still adjust linkage..not knowing where clutch adjustment is.. When I worked on fleet trucks we adjusted for 1/2 off floor.new drivers were bad for pushing clutch to floor during shifts. Excellent idea on snapping roll pin on clutch brake👍

I've seen this done improperly many times by people who should know better

[@jotegg1276]

that is how drivers ruin a clutch brake or even disintegrate one, jamming on the clutch pedal so far that they hit the clutch brake at high speeds...that clutch brake can not stop that fast... there is just a thin material there....

@@Ezrider359 Usually you get a short legged guy and instead of doing a clutch right they'll just set the top stop up then you have to open the door to even get your foot on the pedal it's so blasted high. If one is by the Mack book I can put my knee under the window winder and hold the pedal down like that.
