hey guys, wanted to ask about a little issue i've been having on my '85 nissan 720.
recently, while engaging the clutch from a stop i have to ride the clutch considerably more than usual to avoid excessive shudder. i recently replaced the carrier bearing that was shredded and clunking around the tunnel a couple months ago. i've owned, driven and maintained the the truck pretty carefully for 5 years....so it's not an issue of not knowing how to drive or abuse. the original trans was rebuilt 16k ago (after theft), and last clutch was in 2004 (30-40k ago?).
the driveshaft was properly marked and aligned when i did the bearing, and no vibrations at speed. definitely feels as though the clutch is grabbing improperly/skipping, but no slippage. i don't drive her that often and this is a recent occurrence that is amplified the more often i drive it.
would appreciate your input!
