Just installed a new clutch,pressure plate,throughout bearing,pilot bearing ,clutch arm stud,master cyl and slave cyl and had the flywheel resurfaced. after everything is back togeather i cant get the clutch to disengage all the way.IE the thing grinds when i try to put it in gear.It acted as if the slave cyl rod was to short .Fabricated a rod a little longer and now i can get it in gear ok but the clutch slips a little. whats the trick to setting this thing up?

"A new clutch will require pretty close to the full travel of the clutch pedal to disengage. Sometimes it is a simple as removing an extra floor mat that the pedal bottoms against. Any internal wear in the hydraulic system or external wear in the under dash components, clutch fork, and/or fork pivot ball can cause inadequate disengagement. The solution is to replace or repair the guilty parts."

Arroyojim, Thanks for the info.It,s at the dodge dealer right now.After asking around I found that the flywheel was probably cut down too much.I,ll find out monday what the problem is for sure.

check your clutch pedal pivot pin, mine is worn and wobbles inside the m/c rod

Dealer called today and said the clutch disc had been installed backward.A $1400.00 lesson.
