How to adjust an Eaton Fuller Quick adjust clutch

[@kingjames8283]

It should be noted so that mechanics don't get confused, that there are two different types of adjusters for this style Easy Push clutch. Both look alike and both use a 5/8" wrench but one adjuster type you push in as you did here and then adjust, the other you cannot push in, you simply adjust as normal and every move goes through a locking detent. The type you push in was manufactured by Eaton, the second is manufactured by ACE Mfg. It's the same clutch assembly, only thing different is the adjusting method. I know this because the shop I had install an Eaton transmission in my truck (had a Meritor) installed a 10-spring, 6-pad, 2050# ACE Mfg clutch which I did not learn until several months after the fact. I had my truck in three different heavy truck shops for clutch adjust during normal oil service and lube, and all three told me my clutch could not be adjusted, it was at the end of it's life. What I did not tell them was it was brand spanking new. I called ACE Mfg in Missouri and they instructed me how to adjust it and so now I do my own clutch adjusts which ironically I just finished doing.

Is this on the automated manual or just manual?

[@turbodiesel4709]

One more note... that's gotta be the cleanest bellhousing/clutch assy I've ever seen. Must be in a practically new truck or freshly rebuilt, or something of the like.

[@ronmoo2932]

YOUR video is the best among other clutch adjustment

[@johnvicol2344]

Great job, simple and to the point!!

[@mangatsinghdeol2941]

I've got 10 speed Automatic Eaton Fuller Transmission. I wonder if my transmission need adjustment as well...Cause when it goes from 1-4 it makest this clucking noise and after 4th it just shifts without any noise....Just noise problem. I wonder if it needs adjustment? any info would be useful. Very simple and informative video. Please continue making such useful videos.

What about the thinning of the clutch brake effecting half inch gap

[@turbodiesel4709]

@ Kolton Matthews : Hey bud, it would be helpful to people for you to tell us exactly what you are measuring and what the actual specs are. I happen to know, based upon adjusting them myself at work, but there are many folks who don't really know what you are doing and when doing such a "how-to" video, you should definitely explain what you are doing a little better. Thanks.

[@Caribbean.king242]

Exactly

[@justinhaze5778]

He says it in the video the metel pipe in 1/2 inch that is the spec and the 1/8 inch flat metal bar is the spec for the other side

Hello there, I got a Kenworth T800 and I’m suffering with my clutch because it’s so heavy on the pedal. I just replaced the clutch with pilot bearing and clutch brake, I also replaced the linkage all OEM from the dealer. The pedal still really heavy and because I work paving and milling I have to be on the clutch constantly. Any suggestions on what should I do about it? Thanks

[@thomasvarney723]

Thanks for video. When did Eaton come out with these clutches or what trucks are these on?

[@omarh4694]

Can I change the adjusting bolt by myself?? My clutch is going out of adjustment after 4k miles & I'm guessing it could be this. Can I do it my self??

[@jt4896782]

How can you tell it’s out of adjustment?

[@ntime2095]

If this is out of wack will it make it hard to start out in a low gear??? Mines doing that on a 10 speed EF

[@JG39697]

Which clutch brake thickness is used on a 07 Columbia 2" or 1 3/4"

[@jasonmefford4312]

Ive got one now and its giving me hell. The bolt will move 1/8 of an inch in either direction and wont budge more than that. Tried pushing in in the nut and then checked with a pry bar. Nothing. Im sure there is something im not doing right. Any suggestions?

[@franciscotorres1220]

Jason Mefford do I have someone fully pressing down on clutch

[@chriskennard9422]

@@franciscotorres1220 yes

[@winnaung1238]

I’m curious after how many miles it will need adjusting? How long does a new clutch last?

[@robertnice3060]

Replaced mine over a year ago. Need to adjust it now, first time.

[@MrVitalikriuchkov]

What socket size ? pls thx

[@OceanStateTuning]

Wish you said the other measurement besides the 1/8" one

[@OceanStateTuning]

1/2"

[@FriedShrimpPoBoy]

I wonder if I can do this myself in a parking lot with no measuring tools and nobody in the truck to press the clutch.

[@jacobselig]

Me to 🤣

[@robertnice3060]

Yeah. Give it a turn or two. Check your pedal. Once you get the free play you want. Done.

[@Luis-kl5nz]

Really helped thanks

[@RC-Heli835]

What about 2 inches of pedal play? Is that not important on these type of clutches? Thanks!

[@Ljtaz1122]

Blade yes it's important but If you do these 2measurements it should equal to the 2inches on your clutch pedal.

[@jasonedits459]

Could this work on a 2011 cascadia? It's a hydraulic clutch as well

[@MountainManMechanics]

Fadi Ewan yes sir, it will

[@jrjias4375]

U got str8 to it

Thanks alot

good video

[@californiadreaming9216]

IF YOUR TRUCK HAS A HYDRAULIC CLUTCH THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT.

[@RobertsLife]

Unless they put a manual clutch

[@californiadreaming9216]

@@RobertsLife negative driver. Hydraulic clutch IS a manual clutch. No adjustment.

[@RobertDominguez-xq7yx]

You can put manual clutch in there instead of a SOLO. I've done it, and know a lot of people that have too.

[@californiadreaming9216]

@@RobertDominguez-xq7yx I don't understand your point. Are you referring to converting an automatic tranny to manual shift or converting a hydraulic clutch to cable/linkage-controlled clutch ?

[@RobertDominguez-xq7yx]

I'm referring to you original comment, there's no such thing a a hydraulic cutch, there's a self adjusting, your comment makes people think because they have a hydraulic assist you don't need to asjust it, a person can buy a truck without any knowledge about what's in there, and have a Eaton easy Pedal. Just saying.
