    Old style Ross on a M51

    So to update, finally ran out of excuses, got the new valve control installed. The truck then went hard right instead of left, managed to adjust the valve, you have to turn the valve from the end that has the cover plate on it. The valve is too wide to use a screwdriver and has limited...

    M51 Clutch adjustment

    When I look thru the inspection hole what am I looking for? Not seeing much except the edge of the clutch and pressure plate l think. Also I have noticed the clutch is easier to press, and when depressed I can hear a little bearing noise, guessing some pressure is being applied to the...

    M51 Clutch adjustment

    I had pulled the inspection plate , looked in it but couldn’t tell much. Up till now the clutch had been flawless, smooth when engaging, does not slip. My understanding is the linkage presses against the throwout bearing, separating the clutch from the flywheel overcoming the springs in the...

    M51 Clutch adjustment

I attempted to adjust the linkage and thought it was some...
