Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / 4x4 Cars / September 200472 Ford Bronco Transmission Issue
I have a 72 Ford Bronco and have had the clutch replace three times now and i still get the same problem. After three month or so if you are at a stop and you want to go or start to move the car shutters. Once the truck is moving it is not problem. It is only an issue once you are stop and you have to start moving on a flat or up hill. If you are on a down hill it is not an issue. Once the clutch is replace it is fine of a few months then it is back. Any idea on how to fix the problem with a new clutch made to deal with the issue. I have also had three different shops look at it and they are said it is the clutch. It is a 72 ford bronco with 33 inch tires and the org 289 engine and 3 speed tran with shifter moved to the floor. Any help with be a great, thank a head of time. -Miller > I have a 72 Ford Bronco and have had the clutch replace three times > now and i still get the same problem.

As mentioned, it sounds like the flywheel needs tending to by either a proper resurface job or if it is faulty, replaced. It's also important that your clutch reside in a clean environment. No greasy fingers used when reassembling, and no leaks around the rear main seal on the engine. I'd get a new shop to work on it next time if you haven't already.

If i need to go with replacing the rear gears what would be the best choice Or would finding a 5 speed tran that will bolt up to the 302/289 engine a better option. This why i would have a much lower first gear. either change back to the proper size tires, change the gear ratio to match the tire size, or live with the clutch chatter > I have a 72 Ford Bronco and have had the clutch replace three times > now and i still get the same problem.

This can cause clutch chatter. Another cause could be non-stock, worn or rusted out cab mounts which will change the clutch linkage alignment. > I have a 72 Ford Bronco and have had the clutch replace three times > now and i still get the same problem.

I never did fix the problem but was 99% sure of what it was. Check your slip yolk on the rear driveshaft. Mine was completley worn and if you grabbed it, you could shift the driveshaft up and down a bit. You could also hold one part of the shaft and twist the other and feel some pretty good play. I could make the chatter mostly go away if I packed the joint up full of grease. Just a temorary fix though. Matt 99 V-10 Super Duty, Super Cab 4x4 |
