3.2 w 915 Clutch seems grabby

Totally stock 3.2 84 Cab with 112,000 mi. I replaced the clutch assembly at 65K due to a failed clutch fork. Has and does work great EXCEPT when I am in reverse lately the clutch seems to not grab gradually like it does taking off in first gear. It is either "on or off" so to speak. Do I need to adjust the clutch down below or am I just looking at a wearing out clutch plate?

It's hard to dignose without actually trying it out but I would suggest that you adjust the clutch cable at the transmission. If it doesn't grind going into the gears, you should be able to adjust. Have you made any adjustments in the last 60,000 miles? If not, it will help.

Thanks, a small adjustment seemed to work just fine.
