I have a 79 CJ5 . When there is too much play in the pedal the throwout lever rattles against the clutch housing . I have installed a new boot seal and adjusted the release rod so there is very little play in the clutch and the rattling has stopped. Is this Normal or is this a sign of a problem with the throwout bearing?
Background: The bellcrank was replaced by previous owner and NEVER greased; the bellcrank cracked at one end at the slot for the bushing clip and fell off the pivot bolt. I replaced the bellcrank and noticed the rattling after. Also how much horizontal play (passenger to driver direction) should the bellcrank have? Thanks in Advance for your help.
