I have recently installed a mccleoud rst on my 03 Cobra. I used the stock pivot ball, I do have the adjustable ball stud but it seemed too long and thought it would be fine to use the stock one. I'm reading from some guys I need the adjustable stud while others say I don't. I also have a quadrant, adjustable cable, and firewall adjuster. Anyway here is the issue. At first it seemed everything was fine after installation minus it grabbing way to high for my liking. I crawled under the car to find there was some slack in the cable where it connects to the fork, tightened it up, great. Now I'm hearing (unless I push in the clutch) what sounds like some squeaking like a throw out bearing. I just replaced it when I did my motor about 9k miles though. Could it be the bearing doesn't have enough clearence and is pressed up against the fingers too much? Second I notice in second slightly, mainly 3rd and 4th if I'm cruising around 1400-1500 and I give it some gas, I get a bad "buzzing" and vibration I can feel in the shifter and just in general, it ceases once I hit about 1700 and get into higher rpm. However when I get on it good and give it about 3/4 throttle and up I get some vibrating again that seems to pulsate on and off. Very strange. Just finished the car and it seems like every little thing wants to give me trouble. If anyone has info on the RST and if I did something wrong please let me know. If it helps it's a stock t56, mccleoud lightened steel flywheel, and RST clutch. Pic of my car for attention.
