I had an even worse case of new clutch-itis with our wagon. ?I'm convinced the new clutch pressure plate doesn't have the same "throw" as the old one ? But I'll be damned if the whole thing's coming out again unless absolutely necessary. ?At first, I took all the slack (worn components) out of the old horrible Willys clutch mechanism, but this made no difference.

In the end, I shimmed the pressure plate 34 thousands on the flywheel (perhaps yet another of my unforgivable sins) but what really made the difference was removing the rubber buffer on the pedal, just below the floor boards. ?This allowed the pedal to come up higher and therefore have a longer throw. ?This was the only way to get the clutch to release. ?Even with this unorthodox trick, there is zero free play. What you really have to be sure about, with the clutch pedal released, is whether or not the throw-out bearing touches the pressure plate - it shouldn't. ?This is easy to check on a Willys.
