Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train clutch problem

Anyone know exactly where I went wrong with my clutch? I put a 1978 292 motor in a 1964 Chevelle.The car previously had a 194 inline with a manual trans.The bellhousing that I used came from a boneyard pile so I have no idea what year truck was the donor.(it's aluminun)I simply put in an all new clutch,PP,and throwout.(retaining the chevelle clutch fork) This is where it began.Imediately we had clutch chatter.Plus,the throwout was always singing when the clutch was engaged.(as if the throwout was still dragging)As far as clutch control,I had retained the original chevelle clutch fork and original linkage.After pulling it tonight(I've already tried two different flywheels(both resurfaced by separate shops)and after two completely separate clutch and PPs(and two throwout bearings),it still chatters and I've concluded that we have a problem,Houston!Tonight I found damage to the input shaft cover caused by the TO bearing. I'm wondering exactly what is the correct clutch fork for this setup? And what is the correct TO bearing?....thanks...walt..tulsa,ok

Hey guys,
Got my clutch problem fixed. I bought a NAPA truck clutch fork,(different then the Chevelle fork)adjusted the fork pivot position per Center Force's instructions,and replaced the trans front bearing retainer(the throwout bearing rides on it),and replaced the throwout again.All is well now!....walt...tulsa,ok

So the clutch fork was the problem all along? Good to hear it all worked out for you.
