On my 92 5.0 5spd I just replaced the clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, throwout bearing, and pilot bearing. The problem I am having is when the clutch petal is not pressed there is a little slack in the line and when I press it all the way to the floor the clutch will still be engaged. Here is what I did step by step:
1. Remove all the old parts. Pulled up on clutch petal and pulled the cable with vise grips
2. Installed and greased throwout bearing and pilot bearing
3. Installed flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate. Tightened everything to appropriate torque>
4. Reinstalled transmission. When I was doing this everything was aligned and the transmission was partially engaged but would not slide on all the way. From this point we tightened the bolts down and the transmission finally met with the block.
5. Tried to reset the cable by pulling up on the petal or pulling down on the gear next to the auto-set
So the only things I can think of that would be the problem is that when i pulled on the clutch cable it stretched it and wont retract. I got the wrong sized pilot bearing and its hurting the transmission. Or the auto-set gears on the clutch petal have gone bad.
Does anyone have any other ideas or can you point me in the right direction?
