Is clutch adjustable?

It's probably that bushing that goes TU. It makes a squeak. I am doing the linear spring idea as well. Taking that whole setup out. There is a hole there already to mount a spring. Super easy fix. Sometimes I have to put my foot under the pedal to return it because my OEM spring is so bad and that bushing is toast.

I also use Redline MT-90 in my fully rebuilt R150F. Redline is some good stuff for cold weather driving in my experience. Once it warms up it's like butter. First gear in the R150F is notorious for not wanting to engage until you are stopped. Just how they are made I think. With the redline I noticed going into 1st is a lot easier.

 

i cannot wait to try that Redline! i have always thought not being able to shove it into first at higher than snail speeds was some sort of safety feature lol

 

I use redline, still have issues with first.

 

I removed that big clunky spring long ago The brake pedal return spring from a mid eighties Toyota 4x4 works perfect.

No more clunking or pedal not returning.

Been so long I forgot about that problem

The first thing I do is bypass the clutch safety switch nothing but a royal pain

 

i am happy to report that some imported Nut-Z lube worked wonders, kind of difficult to get up under there safely, had to use a mirror on the floorpan and try to guide my hand backwards

the squeak is eliminated for now and returned to near-like-new condition ... even added 10hp
i suppose the pedal not returning issue will happen sooner or later down the road
its not just for tight nuts

My 2004 is stiff when it's 10 degrees or colder outside. These Taco 5 speed trannys aren't made for shifting fast even if it's 100 degrees out. I use Amsoil GL-4 in the tranny and transfer case and, while it takes a few minutes to warm up I can shift into first rolling at less than 10 mph within a few miles. Even in single digit weather but I let my truck warm up for 10 to 15 minutes if it is that cold.

Warm up when it is really cold (below 30 degrees) is necessary. Driving off the minute you start the engine in single digit weather, or even 30 degree weather, just isn't the right thing to do.
