1960Willy's
New member
Howdy folks. This is my first post here.
I have been restoring a 1960 Willy's CJ-5 for the past 3 years. It I have it up and running and have replaced many parts. At this time, I do believe that I need to adjust the clutch. I have been driving it on and off since Memorial day. What is happening is this. With the clutch pedal fully depressed and the jeep at full stop, I shift the transmission into first gear. What I am hearing is a combination squealing/ grinding noise. If I let the clutch out and begin to move, the noise stops. I told a friend who has been helping me restore this jeep about it. He is an experienced jeep mechanic. He said that I needed to adjust the clutch.
Does anyone here have a link to instructions on how to adjust the clutch on this jeep? Again, it is a 1960 Willy's CJ-5 with the 4-134 engine. I did do a search on this forum, and could not find what I was looking for. Thanks in advance for your help.
I am looking forward to gaining knowledge from you folks on this forum, and hopefully I may be able to answer a question or two for someone else as well.
