Jupiter Clutch ? Rattle

Post by Brian Cole »

I am trying to sort out a metalic rattle from the lower right scuttle area when the car is in gear and the engine is on the overrun. This noise is not present when the engine is pulling.
I am wondering if this rattle is coming from the clutch withdrawal fork which is quite loose where the adjustable clutch rod attaches to the fork. On my car the clevis end of the rod is on the pedal, but when I look at the manual the clevis is shown at the fork end. Which is correct for the Jupiter? There is a tab with a hole on the rod, at the fork end which looks as if it is made for a tension spring, but no spring is fitted. The rod on my car is bent to clear the underside of the tubular cross member, and I wonder if this is set up properly and could be contributing to the rattle? I would be grateful for illumination on the proper arrangement in this area from one of our experts. Brian Cole

Clevis is on the fork by the clutch. So swap it around!
A spring pulls back on the rod and attaches to chassis.
Can somebody take a picture please?
