Bad clutch or what?
I bought a 1987 with a 4+3 on e-bay, got it shipped and first thing out in 4th gear I step it down seems to be slipping and smoke coming from under dash. It smells like clutch. Is there an adjustment for the clutch or did I just get a dishonest seller ? :

I drove the car again and it definetly is a slipping clutch . Is there an ajustment ,if not any idea what the cost of replacing a clutch is/ pressure plate flywheel? Thanks in advance. Seller is a small dealer and said he might help with expense.

Around a grand if the dealer does it. OE clutch is couple hundred bucks I don't know about the flywheel.
I just cleaned up my flywheel and roughed it up with a flapper wheel. Worst part of the whole job was the driveline support beam.
Good Luck and welcome to the Forum
