I just got a 85 CJ7 with a Chevy 350 and the original T-5 Transmission . It has a 2" spring lift, 2" shackle lift, 1.5" body lift, and a 1" Transfer Case drop. So the clutch is not disengaging completely. It's still spinning slightly when going in reverse. The free play in the pedal is less and .5"
The shifting rod is tight and I have a funky situation going on with the clutch bracket & pivot with a custom throw-out clutch rod. I'm assuming I need an extended clutch pedal rod with helm joints like the Rugged Ridge or Barnett Products kit. Should I replace the Clutch bracket & pivot? And check out my body lift.
