[QUOTE="Chip Schweiss, post: 16257006, member: 194852"] This sounds like the clutch fingers hitting the collar around the transmission input shaft. Some clutches are known to have interference here and the collar needs to be shortened. if this is the case, you may need to tweak the height of the pivot bearing too in order to have the proper swing. ---- While it wasn't cheap ($800), I absolutely love my McLeod dual disk clutch in my '94 Cobra. The clutch is rated at 800 HP. A massive overkill for my all factory 5.0. The car still has the factory cable and quadrant. However, with the dual disk, the pedal pressure is about 1/2 that of the factory clutch, which is why I went with this clutch in the first place. Being an organic clutch material it engages very smoothly. Given the lower pedal pressure, the factory cable and quadrant just might last forever. Aftermarket quadrants and cables have been a PITA in my opinion. The manually adjusted quadrants need tweaking all the time and the cables don't last anywhere near as long as the Ford cables. Unfortunately, the Ford cables are getting hard to find and the quadrants are long gone. When the cables are no longer available, I'll probably convert to hydraulic. [/QUOTE]
