[QUOTE="SnakeBit, post: 9956206, member: 2522"] In order for Ford's self adjustment to work, the TOB must ride on the pressure plate. That means it is spinning all of the time the engine is running. To fix that, you must pull the POS 2 pc quadrant and replace it with a solid quadrant. That also requires a firewall adjuster and some minor trimming of the clutch cable at the firewall. However, even with that the TOB will still ride against the pressure plate. Many of us have used the [URL="http://dagostinoracing.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2678_122_1501_1502_15004&products_id=12259"]LDC Freeplay Spring[/URL]. This spring forces the clutch arm back (along with the TOB clipped to it), away from the pressure plate as long as you adjust it correctly at the firewall. I adjust mine with the car up on ramps or jackstands or a lift. Remove the inspection cover at the driver's side of the transmission, and with the engine running and transmission in neutral, adjust at the fire wall until the TOB stops spinning. I also use the FRPP HD TOB. All of that combined will help your TOB last as long as the clutch does. [/QUOTE]
