Okay, finally all back together. Clutch is silky smooth and disengages/engages at about 1/4 of the way into the pedal push. Thanks for excellent instructions on proper cable adjustment. Checked 1" fixkick rule at bell and everything okee dokee.
Noticed some metallic grinding now on accelerator lift-off and coasting in 3rd, 4th and I think, 5th. I recall hearing this before also so it's not a result of the clutch change.
Haven't been able to verify how it sounds in 4wd yet because I hadn't been able to top up the front diff until last nite (had to incline the vehicle to 30degrees -which is a LOT- so the pinion bearing doesn't starve. This is due to my 3" suspension lift. Got it to 25 degrees max which I hope is enough) Noticed the gear lube was darker and murkier than the transfer case and tranny fluids and had quite a bit of metal fines in the gear lube I emptied out of the front diff when I pulled it to get at my oil pan. I think I was only able to get the incline up to 20 degrees though when I filled it last time about 4 years ago.
Leaving with it for a 10 day hunt trip tomorrow. I'll check in after the trip on how it performed.
