are you having problems with your clutch ?
or is this a way of trying to teach others ?
juice ones are easy, try fucking with the old linkage types
Dave, I am always having a problem with my clutch… it slips all the time. The clutch in my mouth that is. Not much of a filter either. No, I saw those and reminded me of auto shop class and the diagrams we use to have to study. I have some more that I will be posting. And, it is a teaching lesson, us old farts like to teach the younguns if they are so inclined and can keep their friggen noses out of the idiot phone.
And here I thought your point was that hydraulic clutches are racist.
Shows you how much I know.
Never had a hydraulic clutch, never going to own one. I get more feedback from a good ol’ mechanical linkage.
I have owned several cars and trucks with a hydraulic clutch and I didn’t feel any difference. I use to drive a 13 speed Freightliner conventional hauling Liq O2 around Seattle and having to clutch that in rush hour traffic my left leg would be sore from pushing in that mechanical clutch and wishing I had a wet system. I was tickled pink when I got a tractor with an 8 speed Alison Automatic!
My “Old Toyota” has a hydraulic clutch. I’m going to be replacing the master and slave cylinders, and the flexible hose soon. I’m replacing the 37 year old rubber flex hose with a braided line, like you use on brake systems. Gives an even better pedal feel, and I, too, can’t tell the difference between a mechanical or hydraulic mechanism.
drjim, I have had several Toyota PUs and I too would replace the flexible hose as they wear and get old. They will balloon and diminish pedal pressure. Once changed out the difference is remarkable. Why Toyota didn’t have a better idea like Ford and use steel line, but we know why, you won’t have to replace it eventually.
They slip more when they’re worn as the springs are less compressed. If you burn them in break-in they can glaze and slip thereafter though not “worn”. Some are just weak by design for “smoother starts”. If you replace the disk and pressure plate, you can usually order a stiffer set, not quite a “racing clutch” (which will burn rubber trying to park), but more a semi-racing clutch, for a bit more torque starting out, or towing uphill.
What is that third pedal for, just left of the brakes? Are you trying to confuse the kids?
It’s the anti-theft mechanism. Works real well against the Dindu Nuffins of the world.
Johno, That’s a DILDO pedal. the didndo-nuffins soon to be college(HAHAHAH) grads would know more about a dildo than that petal
