Another Dauntless Clutch Issue

Bearing installed correctly
Been there done that

It’s prob from the backside of the fork and hyper extending.

 

Awesome thanks.
The chevy forks look much more useful

 

A different fork, bearing, ball stud... either individually or a combination of those parts should get you where you need to be.

Use the fork you have now and put it back in onto the ball stud and attach it to the bearing. Now position the fork arm in the desired (forward towards the front) location through the bell housing window. The fork arm should about 5 to 7 degrees forward for good mechanical advantage, hopefully this puts the arm in a sweet spot in the forward part of the window. Measure the distance between the bearing surface and the clutch pressure plate fingers. You need a bearing that is that much longer.

Or do somewhat similar to the above but this time put the bearing against the fingers and move the arm forward off the ball stud until the arm is in the desired location in the bell window. Measure the distance between the existing ball stud and the clutch arm. You would need a ball stud that much longer.

After determining the distances look to see what is available in parts to get you where you want to be.

It could possibly be just an individual part or maybe a combination of the two that gets you there.
A different clutch fork makes for additional possibilities.

Success!!!

Ball stud and a Ruler was my best friend..

Updates to come

 

That's great news
Looking forward to your updates.

 

so this reared its ugly head last week..
After an uneventful afternoon of driving (some hard shifts) I lost clutch control..
the clutch would not disengage with the pedal depressed, and I was unable to shift transmission into gear..

I cursed and screamed about this for a week... thinking i would heave to tear into the truck again and that i had an issue..
finally got some time this AM to crawl under the truck and pull the slave cyl.
upon removal i noticed the slave rod was shorter than when it went into the truck..
despite the lock nut on the rod, I have a feeling the vibration of the odd fire wiggled this guy loose.

I haven't tested anything yet, going to throw a tack weld or 2 on the lock nut and reinstall tonight..

fingers crossed
