Final Inspection

If the truck has been driven for a long period of time with the broken dash and resulting poor clutch release, the clutch disc could be excessively worn or buckled.

Test drive the truck, evaluating the clutch for clean release. If the release is not satisfactory, measure the release bearing travel.

^ If it has the required 12 mm at full clutch pedal stroke, then the clutch may need to be replaced.

^ If the release bearing has less than the required release travel, then the hydraulic system probably needs to be bled.
