[QUOTE="DSGNator, post: 14060803, member: 158648"] Wow, thank you so much for this post. That's quite a bit of information that I've never even thought of. To be honest before this project I didn't know much about clutches at all. But after this install, the T56 seems like it has a pretty simple clutch system. It may not be very easy to access, but over all it's not too complicated. I guess I'm saying this because I was so intimidated by this project before I tried it. I installed my home made LDC freeplay kit today. I bought a 4" spring and a 3/4" to 1/2" copper pipe reducer. It only took me about 20 minutes. (That's record time for any project on my car.) It seems to have helped in 2 ways. The first being that my TOB no longer rides on my clutch fingers. I crawled under the car with the clutch fork cover off to verify it's position. The second way it helps is that it ads some preload to the clutch pedal to make up for the free play caused by the new clutch. It's still loose, but no where near as loose as it was. This allows me to use my firewall adjuster to achieve a slightly better clutch engagement point. The preload caused by the spring is noticeably different from the pressure needed to engage the clutch, but it beats the clutch pedal not even being able to support it's own weight for the first few inches. Overall I'm very happy with this set up. However my clutch feels different from what it used to (to be expected) so it's just taking a little getting used to. Thank ya'll for your help! [/QUOTE]
