Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train New Clutch Not Disengaging

There is zero play. The clutch pedal goes all the way to the firewall w/o disengaging the clutch. I did buy the adjustable pivot ball at the hot rod shop. Some shortcut! The tranny has to come out to change it too. I'll only use it as a last resort. The OEM pivot ball is bombproof, the hotrod shop goodie is kinda wimpy.
I did get the thick throw-out bearing at Napa. Maybe that's the magic bullet. The Centerforce has the fingers type. And little counterweights that are supposed to fly out with centrifugal force and make the clutch stick better.
My machinist asked me if I'd installed the friction disc backwards. !?!!
Haven't talked to Centerforce yet. With the last truck they insisted their proprietary throw-out bearing was superior to sliced bread. I held it up side by side to an AC Delco and they were identical. Same mill marks and factory numbers.
Dropping the tranny is a problem because I don't have enough altitude from my jackstands to get a tranny dolly under there.
Back at it tomorrow.
