[QUOTE="serper3, post: 10879785, member: 92912"] hey guys, just an update.. the clutch has been in the car for a almost a week now, everything seems good! love the clutch, super light pedal feel, etc. i am currently in the break in period so have not been able to get on it really. my issue of getting into gear with my old clutch and all has been fixed! the clutch and everything works perfectly so far! i am pretty sure my issue was with the centerforce not releasing completely with the clutch in, which would keep my input shaft spinning for a while longer, and as the clutch gets hotter, it would not release slightly more.. just a heads up though to anyone doing the install in the future... not sure how some have been able to get away with using the stock pivot ball.. good thing i ordered one, (went with the mcleod pivot ball, i had to grind it down since its too long) because i read that a good amount to decrease the factory ball, is by 4 mm. i tried this first. even with the weight off the clutch fork, i still had WAYY too much preload on the clutch. i pulled the tranny and decreased it by 5 MORE mm, so total was 9 mm less than stock. this worked perfectly for me. again i am running the fidanza aluminum flywheel, rxt, ford bearings, upr tripple hook quadrant on middle setting but i tried other settings and like others said the middle one is the only that worked.. and the fiore micro click firewall adjuster. anyway, since there seems to be some disrepency with the ideal pivot ball height, looks like it should be expected that with these clutches, dropping the trans out and adjusting the height then checking proper fork position at least once is pretty much required.
