    Clutch slipping, can it be adjusted?

    While it sounds like you are getting along with it ok as is. Think about planning to pull the transmission when time and money permit just for the peace of mind. Better to catch a bad clutch now than to wait until it takes out the pressure plate and flywheel.

    Clutch slipping, can it be adjusted?

    I agree with the "If it ain't broke" part, but for a $20 seal and the fact that you already have it apart????? As to turning the pressure plate and flywheel, I have no idea what that would cost. The part numbers I posted were the rear main seal parts numbers so you can buy them from any...

    Clutch slipping, can it be adjusted?

    The parts aren't that expensive....at least I hope not. I think my clutch disk was less than $130. If the flywheel and pressure plate surfaces are smooth and true, just replace the disk. And Check the throwout bearing good while you have it apart If you have to go that far. Good luck.

    Clutch slipping, can it be adjusted?

    The inspection plate is a rectangular plate right behind the fording plug. Take it off and have someone work the clutch in and out while you spray a couple of cans of brake cleaner up in and all over the clutch surfaces you can get it on

    Clutch slipping, can it be adjusted?

    The only real adjustment is for the clutch pedal free travel. As long as you have the free travel the clutch is adjusted. It's possible that you may have some broken fingers on the pressure plate. Or could have some fluid saturation on the clutch disk from a leaking transmission or rear main...
