absolutely thank you, I'm a well knowledgeable mechanic and I couldn't find a single thing on how the clutch brake works in this hydro system. do wish you explained how to remove it
@@alr9170 I mean, I’m sure some people may object, and I don’t know what you are going to use to do it, but I think it would be fine. If you are just trying to read the clutch indicator then maybe just a rag and some brake clean would be sufficient. But if you want to make it shiny and try to pressure wash up in there… I don’t think you’ll hurt anything but I don’t know if it would be worth the trouble.
@alreyindustries thank for the reply. I'm having some problems with mine, I got no fluid leak, and for some reason the greas line was broken. The pedal stuck to the floor, I'll let a professional check it for.
@@G-AND-A-PRESS-PLAY two ways you can try: 1. Hold the clutch pedal down (you’ll need someone to help or a pedal depressor). While the pedal is pressed down, push the “wear indicator tab” on the face of the clutch all the way back to the “new” position. Release the pedal and pump the pedal several times. See if that adjusts that gap. 2. If it doesn’t adjust that way, you can do the same procedure except, after you push the wear tab all the way back up to the new position and release the pedal, you can hold a spacer (something metal about a 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick) in between the throw out bearing and clutch brake before pumping the pedal again. Sometimes that spacer will cause the clutch to adjust and remove that space. Something else you may want to check is the hydraulic system. Pump the pedal several times to build pressure in the hydraulic system. If the gap between the throw out bearing and clutch brake gets smaller or goes away completely that means something is leaking in the hydraulic system causing you to lose pressure not allowing the pedal to push the forks as far as they should go. If that’s the case I would check the slave cylinder.
Bring back the mechanical clutch linkage , they are foolproof . Hydraulic clutches have too many parts and have high failure rates compared to mechanical linkage . A self adjusting clutch is used with the hydraulic system . They are expensive to maintain . 7/28/23
Very calm talking with so much knowledge and very easy language his using to clarify clutch problems , thank you much
Great video.
Hoping you made one on checking the trans fluid
Tony your very calm and informative way of explaining things is great. Thanks a lot
Right on, great description. Thank you.
Gonna check out ol bessie tomorrow.. Thanks, very informative
Thank you for that video it really help me
So much good information. Will check it out. I hope it's just the clutch brake. Problems just started yesterday getting it into gear during take off.
Clutch brake is likely 👍

That specific one you have to remove the clutch to slide it off.
Best explanation
Great vid, will give mine a check ✅
Thank you, great info
Excellent congratulations
Very informative video
Thank you for the helpful video , my truck started when i bypasses the clutch switch but wont go in gear what could be the problem ?
Thanks for the information but it would be nice if you used a pointing stick or your finger to show us what your looking at.
@@servando1049 yea I thought about that after watching the video again. If you have a question let me know. I’ll try to answer it for you.
Thank you
Please make more videos.❤
Great video thanks man
I got a stupid question. Can you washed in there? I inspected my, the amount of greas i see down there make it impassable to read or see anything.

How do you adjust the gap between the clutch brake and the throw out bearing?
Is it a self adjusting hydraulic clutch?
@@alreyindustries yes. Hydraulic clutch, replaced master and slave cylinder and I’m lost.

@@alreyindustries clutch is brand new also. The tab is in the new position.

Does a 2004 freightliner columbia 10 speed have a master cylinder
I’m not sure. If you have a hydraulic clutch you have a master cylinder. If you have a mechanical clutch, you do not.
The clutch doesn't grind going into gear, it would be the transmission.
You need a clutch brake
