Throwout bearing touching fingers.

[TallGuy71]

Going to take a swing at someone adding an inch to your clutch pedal rod. I want to laugh at all of the people that get so damn concerned over this. His clutch pedal didn't come up all the way, it's not even with the brake pedal, so he cut and added an inch to it. OMG! If you don't want to modify yours again, Mega Parts has them, under trans parts and the clutch rods and components, $50.
When you get this sorted out, your pedal doesn't have to be even with the brake pedal, as long as you have separation between the pp fingers and throwout bearing. The spring between the fork and bellhousing does that. But, you have a ways to go before worrying about that one.

I didn’t think about it moving the pedal like that. New one ordered. that extra inch seemed to be pushing the whole z bar forward and torquing the whole thing in a bad way because it was also bent, along with being lengthened. It also pushed the fork rod too far back towards the clutch fork opening. I think the right length one that I ordered helps to solve one tiny issue in the big picture of problems I’ve run into.

Explain yourself!

What is this mess?

This is obviously wrong.

I heard Lakewood scattershield. That may be a large part of the issue.

I’m fully aware it’s a mess. That’s why I’m trying to fix all of it.

What's your combination? Lots of horsepower and abuse? Why the need for a fancy clutch and scattershield?

Factory bell housing or he wouldn't have that view to get a picture!

I have been trying to do Christmas and not paying close enough attention to someones clutch issues. I bought the proper linkage parts from Brewers and straightened mine out.

You guys beat me to it, I don't see a scattershield. Just measured my Centerforce flywheel it's 31/32's thick.

My father purchased the car a few months ago. First time he took it out there was tons of clutch slippage. So now I’m taking it all apart finding out what the issue was. Main diagnosis seems to be wrong TO bearing. Instead of fixing the main issue, all the linkage was botched by previous mechanics. I believe I’ll be pulling my first 4spd tomorrow. It’s a built 440+6 on the other side of it.

I appreciate you hoppin’ in Mike. As I stated before I will definitely be calling Brewer, it’s just that they’re closed till the 5th.
