Thanks Mike, I will let you know. I have tomorrow to get one of these rolling, will see.@FJCDan
If you need a car for a bit I have this 82 Sr5 you can borrow
Probably not what you’re looking for but I got 5 cars for 2 drivers 4 of which are usable daily and 3 of those are at my house currently
Tried that doing a bench bleed and then got my wife in there to pump the clutch, no luck. Just can’t get it to fully disengage. Worked on 4Runner to try and figure clunking sound. Going to put up on jack stands and see if I can get it to happen again.Have you cracked the line at the output of the cutch master and bled with it open? Once you get some flow there tighten it up and try to bleed the circuit all they way to the slave again
Another thing that comes to mind. You mentioned replacing the clutch. I wonder if you put the friction disk in backwards. Your symptoms are consistent with that.
No inspection plate so I can’t get inside to look.Interesting.
Sure seem like you're having more trouble than I've ever had with the clutch hydraulics. I also thought maybe you have debris blockage in a line, a flake of rust or dirt or a soft line that's eroded into goo. Or is it possible you dented or kinked a hard line?
Are we sure you can rule out for certain it's inside the transmission yet?
You can move the clutch fork if you spin, brace yourself and go leg press day at the gym. I think it's something like 100 lbs of force.
That's one nice thing about the RA60 in my Taco (and there ain't a lot of things I like about it more than a W56). But it has an inspection plate so you can see inside the bellhousing. That would tell you a lot, that the throwout is good, no pressure plate fingers are broken, etc.
Certainly can’t rule it out.Are we sure you can rule out for certain it's inside the transmission yet
I can see the slave moving, but it does seem like it is not moving as much as it should. When I was getting it in to the garage I had very little clutch to work with. It worked a little better when I got some more fluid in the master.So can you see the fork moving and it is moving through the expected travel? Sorry , not sure I am totally following.. but if the fork is moving and pressing on the clutch fully maybe the pilot bearing in the flywheel clutch blew/seized? That'd let it shift engine off but not when running..
When you got it into the garage in reverese the first time, how'd you do that? did you fire it up and use the clutch like normal then? Did it feel like it wasn't fully disengaging?
The push rod going into the master cylinder needed to be adjusted out so it would push further into the master cylinder Duh. Works great now.Thats awesome news! so was the pedal hitting the floor too fast or something? Like did it need to be adjusted out?
