TOB/Clutch install parts list.

[uhhhaaron]

Just making sure I cover all the basis before getting started. Here’s all the parts I got lined up:

Mcleod 26 RXT clutch
Lethal 26 spline input shaft
Mcleod Lightened Steel flywheel
Mcleod TOB retainer sleeve
Ford Racing TOB
Mcleod Clutch fork

anything I could be missing?

any suggestions on which adjustable pivot ball brand/size to order?

also, is a pilot bearing necessary?

thanks in advance!

Yes replace pilot bearing, you're already there. Buy a Ford one. Maybe consider a new clutch cable.

And rear main seal

Strange this is the first ford I had in 30yrs that doesn’t leak on rear main.

I think they've made good improvements with the seal conditioners in high quality oils nowadays

ended up ordering the Mcleod Adjustable Pivot ball (2.250“) vs the Lakewood (2.317).. Lethal had a Black Friday deal on McLeod products. Hopefully that one works out.

Anything worth noting about the differences between the (High Load) Roller Pilot bearing vs the regular roller pilot bearing? Both from FP.

currently @460ish wheel, basic bolt ons, pullied Eaton.

thanks

I want to say they are the same. Just vaguely recall discussing this with the vendor when I bought my RXT1200.

Either way, I ordered the high load one.

I am in a similar situation, but I am Replacing both the trans and clutch. One item I see no mention of in this thread is the clutch return spring. Is this an item that should be replaced? A coworker Recommended replacing it while I am there. What do you guys recommend?

 

[hotcobra03]

We don’t use a spring

Some may when they don’t want tob against pp

thanks, the price difference is around $10, but as far as the differences, couldn’t get a clear answer. Might end up going with the high load one

Late post, but any good links to the FR high load pilot bearing? Some sites say it won’t work with my 03 cobra.. others say 4v 4.6.. is it the same across the board? Or is there a Terminator specific one?

thanks I’m advance
