Yes I kept doing criss cross patterns. The flywheel went pretty quick, but the pressure plate felt like forever.Looks good. You torqued it down evenly?

That's exactly what I did to. I'm a little nervous, lol. First clutch job.It took me a while on the pressure plate as well. I went around in a circle tightening each bolt a little until it was down.
The clutch is in! Now I need to clean up the t56 a bit, put a new clutch cable in, and have fun trying to put it all back together.

Did you buy just 1 pair of those 12 ton jack stands? Not sure if a set of 4 would be good idea.
Interesting. I can find in on my CD manual. I can research it a bit.I suspect it's probably up around 40-50 Brady. Those are big bolts going into cast iron. You'll typically see a lower number into aluminum.
Thanks!yes bdubbs the 7 bellhousing to block bolts for the t-56 are 55 ft/lb per the manual
I have motorcraft grease I'll be using.Yep you’re good on the TOB.
Wise to put some grease on those spring steel pieces. Can’t remember what they call for but basically a heavy duty/high pressure axle grease works.

Thanks Jeff! I'm surprised it's lasted as long as it did. There is a good chance that I'll put the car on the rollers at some point.Outstanding work, Brady. I'm actually surprised the promotion lasted as long as it did.....I figured you'd be crossing this bridge a year ago. Now you have one heluva a TQ capacity clutch and I'd love to see this car hit that "heartbreaker" set of rollers in the spring and lay down an awesome number.
And kudos to the community providing all the great info and tips for the install....that's what makes this place great.
In the process of putting the t56 back in. Lining it up so far is kicking my butt.

I agree, svtp community is awesome! It's really the only car forum go on.

I'm just having a hard time lining up the transmission to bell housing. Always hitting somewhere. I haven't got the input shaft to clear the pp fingers yet.This can be a real bear or sometimes they slide right in.
Make sure you’re in gear. Regarding above post, your shifter is out correct?
So there’s typically 3 places it’ll hang where you have to work.
When the splines of the input first hit the clutch discs.
When you first hit the pilot bearing.
Sliding fully into the pilot and onto the dowels at the same time
Those are also pretty much in order of difficulty.
Can’t remember but hopefully your jack has an adjuster to tilt the trans up and down. Do not let the trans hang at anytime once the input shaft is into the clutch discs.
