I have a '66 iia 109" and I am having a bit a problem with the clutch. Every time I try to put the car in gear, all I get is a spinning and grinding noice... so it obviously will not engage. So, I started to bleed the clutch lines thinking that there might be air in the lines when I noticed brake fuild leaking down the clutch pedal. I fixed that by putting in a new master cyclinder, and I thought that might have been my problem the whole time, but it wasn't. So I just finished installing the new master cylinder and bled the lines and what not and I seem to be getting good stroke on the slave cylinder, but it still just spins and grinds when I try to engage any gear. Any ideas of what to do next? Any ideas of what might be the problem? Thanks in advance.

However, before doing that, inspect and make sure the arm is actually moving on the slave end.Comment

I've done that a few times today... bumping the starter while in 2nd or 3rd hoping that would jar something loose, no luck so far. But, does anyone know how much stroke I should be seeing on the slave cylinder arm? I measured the stroke today, and I'm only getting 3/4 inch up and down on the end of the arm. That doesn't seem like enough, but then again, I have no idea.Comment

I had my brother sit in the cab and depress the clutch pedal while I peeked through the cover of the bell housing and when he depressed the pedal I saw something move back and forth from the flywheel. So, if I can see this movement is it possible that maybe the pressure plate and the clutch plate are stuck together, or is that ridiculous? Would this tell me anything just because I can see something move in there when the clutch pedal is depressed? Bottom line... I really don't want to have to take the bell housing off to expose the clutch... its looking like I'm going to have to though. Any thoughts?Comment
