[QUOTE="10sec89, post: 12451867, member: 123448"] Ok guys. I have replaced the clutch about 3-4k ago with a redone flywheel from McLeod, new throw out bearing and 520hp Promotion clutch. About 2k ago the TB bearing started squeeling so it was replaced with a FRPP. I also did a full rebuild of the T-56. All has been great for a little while. I went to the drags last weekend and made 6 runs on drag radials. I had to do a slight slip and feed in the gas to try and keep it hooked. Let's me say the clutch smelled horrible, but held well. After a little street drive of 15 or so miles the next day I noticed the clutch engaging differently. I checked my firewall adjuster and couldn't pull any slack from the cable! Adjuster is normally in the middle range. I adjusted it for about 1/8- 3/16 of gap when pulled. I drove the car 50 miles last night and checked it when I came back and sure enough it's tight again. The adjuster is turned almost all the way in now! I pulled the inspection cover, and the fork hasn't moved(it was replaced at last TB job). I hold A.S.E. cert's in manual transmission and drive train and I can't figure out what the hell is happening here. Am I correct in thinking the pressure plate is at fault? [/QUOTE]
