[QUOTE="04sleeper, post: 10751032, member: 34911"] Correct. Ford Throw Out Bearings are constant velocity units. They are made to always spin. The Freeplay Mod is made to hold the throw out bearing "Away" from the pressure plate so the throw out bearing does not contact it. This creates more harm than good. Instead of the throw out bearing already spinning at the same RPM as the engine, it slows down and stops. Now when you go to shift the clutch, say @ 6500 RPM. The bearing now has to go from 0 RPM to 6500 RPM instantly! The now "Stopped" bearing contacts the already "Spinning" pressure plate and creats extra wear and heat on the face of the throw out bearing. This will actually make your throw out bearing wear out faster. Also the spring on the free play mod creates more tension on the clutch making it stiffer to push in. Hope this helps explain it a little better. [/QUOTE]
