d2 main clutch brake - pushing the lever forward doesn't engage the brake

Video

I added some washers to the one clutch brake retainer plate to mimic the spacer I was thinking of making.

Eddie B has guidance on here for the correct set up of the clutch and brake. There's a sequence it has to be done in so that all the relationships are correct. If you take a look at the serviceman's reference in the Tech Library, it will show you the procedure to set it up. If you've followed all of that, then something might not be within spec.

thanks, I found this diagram in my servicemens reference book.

I checked numbers 5 and 7 for correct clearance last night. The top didn't have any clearance, so that's part of my problem. Still trying to fix this. Will report back soon if that resolves my issue.

Hi Team,
something I have encountered is that the vertical actuation shaft woodruff keys have been aligned to the split in either lever instead of the key slot in the relevant lever--this puts the levers out of phase and so can cause reduced clutch engagement motion in one direction or the other.
Another lost motion area to check is to the top vert. shaft and its bushing if fitted--if not then the shaft bore in the top case needs machining to take a suitable bush and even a dirt seal.
Also check if the upper vertical shaft lever is not fouling the floor plate due to the shaft/bush wear described above.

Cheers,
Eddie B.

Hi, I adjusted the yoke and collar clearance last night per the servicemens manual. The assembly still won't pivot far enough to touch the clutch brake plates. Previously I had a local machine shop make a bronze bushing for the top vertical shaft, so there is no play with that piece. I still can't figure out my issue. There has to be something I'm missing with this.

Would any additional video of this help? If so, what do you want to see exactly? thanks for your help so far.

I confirmed the keys for the lever and yoke forks are in the machined slots, and not in the splits where the bolts are tightened.

Can that vertical shaft go in upside down, and did you remove it to fit the new bronze bush?
