Took apart clutch linkage from pedal to shaft on bell housing. Had to clean threads and clevis went to adjust free travel and noticed very little movement on throw out bearing shaft about 1/4 play took trans cover off noticed head of air chamber bolt was against throw out bearing shaft with no adjustment. Yolk that throws the shaft has no adjustment.
All air is bled out of truck crane clutch off .Looked in TM to find free play adjustment on air clutch adjustment before adjusting pedal free play, could not find.
Am I right in thinking there should be movement in the throw out shaft so bearing does not ride the pressure plate. Took inspection plate of bell housing to see if rust on input shaft or grease fitting on bearing almost impossible to see with cross member, clutch looks fine inside clean.

Thanks for any advise Found it in 34 manual ROTO CHAMBER adjustment . Still ? how much travel should throw out shaft have before throwout contacts plate?
