| Post subject: | slave cylinder bracket |
After a very streched-out process (about a year), I have swapped engines in my 87 Dodge... but: my slave cylinder keeps going out....looking, it is obvious now that it is at the wrong angle to the fork! I might have accidently mixed up the brackets, but I've lost the darn thing! Is there a different bracket for the 84 as opposed to the 87? I have tried to search the Forum, but this, too, is draining my life-forces away...Can someone point me to some help? |

UPDATE: The '84 D100 uses the z-bar; thus, no cylinder bracket.  (Paint me embarrassed.)The clutch on the '87 D100 is (external to the bh) hydraulic with a bracket. The Chilton manual shows the bracket, but I am no closer to understanding why my slave cylinders sit at a wrong angle and keep failing... I have GOT TO get this truck working this weekend...my groceries are just about out.... Should I try to modify the bracket, or is there some easy "wedge" kind of a fix? Anyone? |

You don't want to use the mech. linkage? Or you don't have it? |

The mechanical linkage from the 84 (clutch torsion bar/z-bar) will not go into my 87 without bodywork, so I cannot use it. I will have to stick with the hydraulic slave cylinder. As I understand it, the late 87s had the cylinder mounted directly to the bell housing, whereas the early ones (like mine) had it attached to a bracket. My truck was built in January 1987. Problem is, it sits on the bracket at the wrong angle to the clutch fork. I know someone else worked on this engine, and I suspect they put the wrong bracket back into it during the last overhaul. Which brings me back to my origional problem: How best to change the angle that the slave cylinder rod meets the clutch fork? |
