[QUOTE="Street Warrior, post: 16315540, member: 112835"] Trying to get my RXT clutch install right and having issues, I've searched the forums and found some usefully info but still haven't gotten 100% right. I can't get enough travel to fully disengage clutch without having the throw out bearing riding the clutch fingers too much, if that makes sense. Set up has been in the car for the last 5000 miles and I need to get it right, been lucky that I haven't burnt up the clutch. Here is what I'm working with, parts were bought back in 2011 - it's been a long project. 03 Cobra engine & T56 w/ 26 spline / Lethal sleeve MGW shifter & [USER=6727]@CobraBob[/USER] shifter gaskets McLeod RXT 6932-07 McLeod Aluminum flywheel 563408 ARP Flywheel bolts, Pro 254-2801 Ford Racing level M-7515-A Mcleod throw out bearing 16100 MM Clutch cable & quadrant kit MMCP51 AJE crossmember MU-7051 w/ Stiffler bushings Aluminum drive shaft / balanced [ATTACH]1607080[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1607078[/ATTACH] Best thing ever to R&R a transmission - wish I bought one 25yrs ago. [ATTACH]1607079[/ATTACH] Before I pull the trans again, I'm trying to seek as much input to help. I'll measure the clutch fingers to bell housing face to find that depth, forgot too.... This is the measurements I did take and some notes. [ATTACH]1607081[/ATTACH] Original pivot ball - needed a starting point. [ATTACH]1607082[/ATTACH] Went 2yrs, 5000 miles with this height. Clutch was on that fine line of barely disengagement / too much pressure on clutch finger for 100% engagement of the clutch, would slip / chatter under load. [ATTACH]1607083[/ATTACH] With this measurement, the clutch fork would hit the back of the bellhousing and had instant contact on the clutch fingers. [ATTACH]1607084[/ATTACH] Back to this measurement and I'm back to that fine line of barely disengagement / too much pressure on clutch finger for 100% engagement of the clutch. My next thought is to clearance the bellhousing / clutch fork so it can go further back when increasing the length of the pivot ball. Hope this will give me the proper leverage to fully disengage the clutch and not put too much pressure on the fingers. Thoughts? Suggestions? HELP..... Thanks, John [/QUOTE]
