Mc Leod 4400 Series Truck Pull - Manual

Truck Pull Clutch Assembly Instructions
Assemblies are not Pre-Balanced!!
All assemblies should be match balanced to your Flywheel
This assembly’s pressure plate has an adjustable counterweight lever. This allows you to increase clutch
– holding power by adding more weight to each lever if needed. McLeod assembles the unit with a 2 inch
¼-20 Allen bolt and (6) gram weights and self-locking nut. This is a common counterweight amount.
You may need more or less. If a change is desired always use an Allen headed (socket head) bolt and self-
locking style nut.
The torque on the (6) pressure plate nuts should not exceed 35 ft. lbs. A small amount of blue Loctite
may be used.
The (3) 3/8-24 self-locking nuts on the (3) floater stands should not be removed unless you are replacing
the floater stands.
Be sure the throw out bearing has sufficient free play at the clutch fork. The bearing will burn up if there
is too little free play. .1875” - .250” (3/16-1/4 inch) is sufficient at the fork, not pedal. If unit appears
glazed from excessive slippage, holding power will diminish. Sanding of all parts to break the glaze with
#36 grit paper or glass beading all parts at 40 -45 psi will restore the holding power.
Whenever the clutch assembly is out of the vehicle always measure disc thickness and check shim
tolerances. Review the below two drawings and familiarize yourself with the key noted components.
