'85 F250 T19A, no idea on the miles. Was a farm truck until we bought it a couple years ago. The clutch hydraulic line is a flexible nylon (?) hose (see attachment). Is this right? Clutch disengages fully, since I replaced the master pushrod (adjustable) and installed a brass bushing in the eyelet. But the clutch action is not just stiff, but "rough". It feels like a cable-operated clutch with a frayed cable. Is this comparable to what was there originally, or is this some field truck hack job?
I see Dorman has a line that fits the '80-'86 trucks. Think that would help smooth out the action? I know Dorman's quality reputation is..., er..., spotty. I have yet to find a complete pre-built kit for this year truck, like they make for the OBS.
Any other ideas that would explain the rough action? Maybe I just need to put a dab of grease on the end of the slave rod where it pushes the fork. TBH, except for the in-cab work with the pushrod and grommet, I haven't looked closely at it.
Thx for any advice.
