Oliver 60 clutch issues

golfcartman · Nov 16, 2018

Have a Oliver 60 RC that I put a new clutch and throw- out bearing in a few weeks ago and it seem to work fine but every time I get it out to drive it around the clutch gets harder to push in. Was having this same issue before which led me to replace the clutch and thro- out bearing
. Pressure plate looked good and was not worn so I didn't change it. I can't understand what would cause it get harder to push in. The rod is not binding anywhere. Thanks for your help!!

Perhaps the clutch pedal may need a bush fitting in it, possibly with its pivot shaft being replaced, too? Had that problem with a 80. Worth checking.

Thanks for reply, I found that the clutch rod was binding really hard against the side of the hole in the bell housing . Previous owner welded a flat washer over the hole for reinforcement but did not get it in the correct place. Took a drimel tool with cutting bit and took out about 1/8" on the side that was binding and that made a lot of difference. Much better now. My clutch pedal needs a bushing in it and that would be even better. Maybe this will help some one else down the road.
