[QUOTE="04sleeper, post: 12049539, member: 34911"] Ford TOB's are "Constant Velocity" bearings. Meaning they should be spinning all the time. If your clutch is not properly adjusted, it will wear out the TOB. By adding 1/8" - 1/4" between the TOB and PP, [B]you negate this thus wearing out your TOB quicker!!!! You DO NOT want to do this![/B] Think of it this way, you shift your car at 6500 RPM's and your TOB is spinning right along with it. No problem. Now you shift your car at 6500 RPM's and your TOB is stopped because it is not touching the PP. Now your TOB goes from 0 to 6500 RPM in an instant. All this does is heat the bearing surface up and wear it out much sooner. The "LDC Free Play Mod" is a hoax at best. The factory clutch/pawl quadrant has a spring that puts tension on the TOB. You want to "Mimic" this same tension on your aftermarket TOB. This is usually done with a firewall adjuster. A firewall adjuster is [B]NOT FOR ADJUSTING PEDAL HEIGHT!!!!! [/B] It is to allow adjustment due to the differences in aftermarket clutches. Hope this helps, Kevin [/QUOTE]
