Clutch issue

I am with Dave ... Re-read his posts #19 & #23. I had this same problem until a call to Brewers helped me understand how the over center spring works.

Think of it this way: When you release the clutch pedal, the pressure plate fingers begin to “throw” the shift fork (and clutch pedal with it) back. However, it cannot throw the fork back all the way.

This is where the over center spring takes over to assist the clutch pedal back the rest of the way.
Remember what Dave said in post #19?

“FWIW, The OC spring works in BOTH directions on my Barracuda. When everything with respect to pedal/clutch linkage is tight and adjusted correctly the B&B style 3 fingers push the the fork and linkage back to just past center on the OC spring. The spring then lifts the pedal to the stop and pulls any load off the release bearing. The linkage spring keeps the parts from flopping around.
In the other direction, the OC spring assists the release of plate pressure on the disc. ”

Start with a relaxed clearance of .060” and fine tune it from there.
