[QUOTE="Serfma, post: 16306574, member: 196123"] '96 Cobra. A couple previous owners, somewhere down the line whoever did the modding was a moron. Clutch was terrible so we dropped the tranny and replaced: [LIST] [*]Throw Out Bearing, CORRECTLY slid onto the spring of the new clutch fork [*]Clutch fork, [*]Pilot bearing, [*]Clutch disc, [*]Clutch plate, [*]Flywheel resurfaced [*]Everything torqued to spec and aligned properly. [/LIST] Cable is not in a bind and moves freely through the sleeve when having an assistant pull back on the clutch cable while cable is being pressed. Pedal itself moves freely with cable not attached. My current thought is that the clutch plate is incorrect. I have an 11" flywheel (says nodular on inside of flywheel, unsure what exact one I have), and I found out it's actually for an '05-'08, just that it's from a later model because I had issues with a clutch plate not lining up to bolt holes. We had ordered an 11" from KY Clutch and it was incorrect. Took the one that came out of the car up and that's when he stated it's likely for an 05-08, just a later model in general. Got me a plate that lines up [b]BUT [/b]i'm realizing now that the clutch plate fingers have a big play in why it is so stiff. I was a big dummy and since it's my first time I made the mistake of not triple checking or thinking that the difference would matter. The [b]TOP plate is the one that had the incorrect bolt holes. [/b]The BOTTOM plate is what came out of the vehicle and replaced by a new plate of the exact same, but is currently in the vehicle. As you can see, the fingers dip down and then back up near the end where the top plate's are straight and then raise where the TOB will press against. [ATTACH=full]1604572[/ATTACH] Now at this point I almost want to say for a fact that's my issue. If you guys do confirm also, would my best route be to see if I can have a custom one made with the fingers of the top plate, or is it something like new flywheel time? [/QUOTE]
