CLUTCH PEDAL - INCREASED OR UNEVEN EFFORTS (VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 6.9/7.3/7.5L ENGINES AND M5HD OR ZF TRANSMISSION)


LIGHT TRUCK: 1987-91 F-250, F-350 1988-91 F SUPER DUTY, F-47, F-59


ISSUE: Increased or uneven pedal efforts may occur due to galling and contamination build-up on the transmission input shaft retainer.

ACTION: Install a new design clutch release bearing when replacing the M5HD or ZF transmission release bearing. This new release bearing has a plastic carrier and wiping seals to control contamination build-up on the transmission input shaft retainer. Refer to the Light Truck Shop Manual for service details.


NOTE: RELEASE BEARING REPLACEMENT ALONE WILL NOT SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE CLUTCH PEDAL EFFORTS. CLUTCH PEDAL EFFORTS NATURALLY INCREASE WITH CLUTCH DISC WEAR AND A WORN OUT CLUTCH IS THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF EXCESSIVE CLUTCH PEDAL EFFORTS.
