D4 Clutch Problem

The clutch thrust bearings at least are worn out and/or you have a lot of slack in the linkage and operating yoke, time for an inspection of where the problem lies and fixing it before you have an accident.

Thank you for the repair suggestions. There was enough oil in the bottom of the bell housing
that the flywheel had picked it up and spread it all over the clutch and disk causing it to stick.
I sprayed diesel on to the clutch and flywheel under high pressure rinsing off the oil. I then
pored enough diesel in that the flywheel picked it up and sprayed it around all the while I was
working the clutch. After draining the bell housing by pulling the bottom plug, I then sprayed
two cans of brake clean to rinse the diesel off. Now works as it should. Would not have thought
oil on the disk would cause it to stick so badly but it did. Thanks. Neil

I'm glad that the diesel rinse worked well for you. Usually the culprit is someone had over-greased the pilot bearing and the excess grease got on the flywheel/clutch disc.

A quick hint about oil in the clutch housing, unless you plan on working in water, take the drain plug out and drill a 5/16" hole in the center, then drop a 1/4" cotter key in and bend the legs. As it's running, the cotter key will rattle around an let any accumulated oil pass by on to the ground.
