Thanks to all who posted below,,,,,heres more info.
Its a single clutch,,,,,4104 Spicer tranny,,,,,,,,No clutch brake,,,,,,,Push/Pull ??? Heck if I know, there are like 6 adjustable fork fingers that the throw out bearing contacts and it pushes them in toward the flywheel to release the clutch.
The tranny slides in easily like theres not much resistance when the shaft goes into the pilot bearing/bushing,,,,,,,,,right now theres like a 1/4 inch gap from the throw out to those adjustable fork/fingers,,,,,,,,,when the pedal is full depressed it looks like the fork/fingers get compressed say 3/8 inch (from rest position which is that 1/4" from throw out) inward towards the flywheel,,,,,,,,
He told me the old clutch had the same problem of grinding gears which is why he got the new clutch n plate n throw out BUT HE DID NOT CHANGE ANY PILOT BUSHING OR BEARING
Tomorrow AM the tranny will be pulled out (for the 7th time) and my plan is to check the pilot bushing/bearing (replace if in doubt) and how well the plate slides on the shaft,,,,,,and adjust the fork/fingers so theres only like 1/8" from them in rest position to the throw out,,,,,
I can see how if the pilot is a bearing and its sticking/hanging it can make the tranny still spin even if clutch is working otherwise, but if its just a bushing as easy as the tranny goes into the flywheel I dont understand how it could cause the same problem
IF SHE STILL GRINDS GEARS (tranny must still be turning) I MAY PUT A STICK OF DYNAMITE IN IT LOL
Thanks yall I will post back tomorrow after the tranny is out again
