Hi all,

it all began quite harmless. :-)
I wasn't able to get reverse without turning off the engine first!
Now i got the problem with almost every gear!
Can it be that the clutch is not releasing correctly?
The pedals are not all aligned! Clutch is much deeper than gas and brake!
I it is the clutch how can i correct that problem?

Or is it a complete different issue?

pls help i am a bit desperate!

thx Michael

 

HEEEEEYYY another German!!!!! welcome to the forums (i'm a german living in Ireland)
i'm quite sure it's directly related to your clutch and adjusting the linkage will probably help already
Do you have a shop manual for your 67? if not, someone might have details on how to do that. I adjust mine with some logic, but no real strict process, so I can't give details.

 

It's very likely you have a clutch or clutch linkage problem. First, since you mention pedal alignment, does the pedal bracket look like this?

 

oh ya ... I forgot.... check all brackets the one 2+2 posted where the pedal is, as well as the Z-bar (equalizer bar) which I have seen bent as well

 

If you have the stock shifter it may require attention. If it is sloppy I would rebuild it and align it and that may fix your problem. If it is not sloppy an alignment might be enough.

 

Most the stock parts by now are worn and broken. Pedals, linkage, shifter. Check it all.

 

It's the pedal, linkage or clutch itself. As stated, look for worn or bent parts first.
