[QUOTE="200MPHCOBRA, post: 14719256, member: 29964"] You have to visualize what is happening. All the fluid is being forced out of the throwout bearing by the pressure plate deforming at high revs, and the fluid is forced back into the resivoir. You step on the pedal, since nothing is there, the helper spring sticks the pedal to the floor. Trans is still in gear when you try to shift. Syncros go to shit after a few hard shifts. Its a bad pressure plate, Ford knows it, and it will never work right until you change it. I did every bandaid till I finally saw it puke out fluid fom a slightly over filled resivoir and I figured it out. Changed to Exedy at 1500 miles on the clock and now it speed shifts at 8000 rpm like butter. Even the lucky ones that are shifting, are probaly dragging and not completly disengaged when they shift. I believe this is the main reason these transmissions have the reputation they are stuck with. I can tell you mine is perfect after the change of clutch and p plate, and I have been banging gears for 35 years on every manual trans Ford made since 1965, and with the change, this is the best one yet.
