Checking the Clutch Brake Operation
Clutch brake operation can be felt as an increased
resistance as the clutch pedal approaches the bot-
tom of its stroke. If the gears grind when shifting into
first or reverse gear from neutral with the clutch
pedal fully depressed, the clutch pedal is out of ad-
justment or the clutch brake is worn and needs to be
replaced.
Lubricating the Clutch Release Bearing
NOTICE
Failure to lubricate the release bearing and link-
age as recommended could result in release
bearing and clutch damage.
On vehicles equipped with a greased release bear-
ing, the release bearing should be lubricated at regu-
lar intervals. See the Century Class Trucks Mainte-
nance Manual for intervals and procedures.
