Default If the clutch is the not working right, check the engine mounts

Hi All

Having been through the problem of clutch not disengaging on Chevy HUP, I would add two things to list to check.

Carefully degrease everything, clutch plate, flywheel and pressure plate, I had gunk on mine that cause problems after a rebuild.

But if the problem is intermittent, check for play in the engine mounts even a little bit of fore and aft movement of the engine can throw the clutch adjustment out the window.

If I remember correctly there was even a quick fix on civilian truck of the vintage of putting a turnbuckle connecting the engine to the frame in the fore aft direction to keep the engine from being thrust forward.

This engine mount issue would also affect or is it effect the throttle linkage?

Cheers Phil
