[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 16599669, member: 196914"] Thought I would update this in case anyone needs the info. Just finished up my install with the following parts: Tremec 26 spline input shaft, Lethal release bearing retainer, McLeod RXT with aluminum flywheel, McLeod adjustable pivot ball, ford racing release bearing, ford racing high torque pilot bearing. I shortened the pivot ball by 8mm. I came to this measurement by placing the stock clutch bolted to the stock flywheel on a flat surface and measuring the distance from the bottom to the pressure plate fingers where the bearing makes contact. I then did the same thing with the McLeod. The difference was 8mm. This was the same method explained earlier in the thread by [USER=73358]@Comp04svt[/USER]. Keep in mind everything has to be torqued down when taking these measurements so the pressure plate fingers are drawn in. I drove the car today and it felt great. The release point is right where the stock clutch was. It is a tad more toward the top of the clutch throw which I prefer. Pedal effort is very close to stock if not a bit lighter. Didn't get any unusual noises. I did hear a little hiss on engagement just as [USER=35549]@01yellercobra[/USER] described earlier in the thread. Time will tell if that stays or goes. Didn't really bother me much so I'm not too worried about it. The street manners of this clutch are surprisingly pretty good. Light pedal effort with smooth engagement.
