I installed the correct clutch 9 11/16" it came with a small plastic spacer that goes on the end of the slave cylinder push rod. didn't remember that during disassembly but it won't disengage without it? I thought surfacing the flywheel would take care of the rattle, I am wrong and disappointed. I still have a rattle only when just letting off the gas in 3rd 4th and 5th. I stayed in 2nd and ran the RPM's high and didn't get a rattle but a whine. I am therefore thinking it is a bearing. The truck has 300k miles on it, supposedly the engine has been rebuilt. I don't think the trani has been touched. All I can think is the bearing on the input shaft. The list. 1. Rebuilt the rearend. 2. New U-Joints. 3.New (correct) Clutch. Surfaced the Flywheel.Friction,Pressure,pilot and throwout new.

I replaced the throwout bearing. I measured the clutch I removed it was 9 11/16" diameter, the one I installed was a 9 1/8". This may be a stupid question. Does it matter?

Isn't the old clutch the larger diameter clutch 9 11/16"? Therefore you would need that clutch not the smaller 9 1/8"?

I get a loud rattle in 3rd 4th and 5th. It goes away if I push in the clutch and when I give it gas. I recently replaced the clutch. Anyone have experience with the wrong, or a faulty, clutch being installed? 86 4cyl with Ax-5 trans. Is it supposed to have an external slave with a spacer?

I replaced the pressure plate, friction plate and throw out bearing. I didn't replace the pilot bearing. I think the transmission is an Ax-5. I am not sure if the external slave cylinder and the 3"+- spacer is standard though. The clunk consistently occurs whenever I let off the gas. It happens at about driveline speed and doesn't change with or without clutch, gear or nuetral. I am going to replace the u-joints, but they just don't seem to be extremely worn. The front has a slight movement when pushed to the side. Could it be result from excessive backlash in the differential?

I am the new owner of a 1986 comanche 2 wheel. I bought it from a guy who said it needed a clutch. I bought a 5 speed clutch from autozone and installed it. The truck still did not move but the drive shaft did. So I opened the diff and found pieces of a cross shaft, all the other parts were intact and in good condition. I replaced the cross shaft. The new clutch did not disengage, but only made a ringing sound. It had a really hard pedal like 2 inches off the floor. I removed the spacer in front of the slave cylinder and now it disengages. still has a slight ring when clutch pedal is pressed. ? . I drove it for the first time, and there is a loud clunking noise when I let off the gas. The sound becomes faster and more obnoxious with speed. It is loud enough for people on the street to hear it over the exhaust. I cannot drive it in this condition. I was going to try and replace the u joint, or check the rear end backlash. I am kind of guessing at this point. I would appreciate any help whatsoever.
