There needs to be a little slop to prevent constant pressure on your throw out
bearing. The noise you hear is the throw out bearing constantly "running".

Subject: [oletrucks] Clutch Adjustments
Well for the past 6 months my truck (45 half ton) was grinded going into
1st, 2nd and reverse. So I decided to take some of the play out of the
clutch. I found the two nuts on the eye bolt. Then I tightened them down
(moving toward the cab) until the play was gone, I removed about 1 inch from
the pedal movement. Now I can go to all of the gears without a grind.
However I now seem to have at all speeds a low humming that seems to be
coming from the transmission. Did I over tighten this adjustment? Since I
have no idea what I am doing - it is all guess work I need you input. It
could have always been there and I was not listening for it, but I think
this is a new sound. Can it be caused by my adjustment.
It is cold enough to snow - maybe we could get it tonight........
Better check that antifreeze - do not want to blow a freeze plug like last
fall!
Thanks,
NHJim
