We may as well lay the cards out on the table here.
Arnaud is working with the following combination:
*Tremec TKO 600
*Quicktime RM-6057 (Ford FE to Toploader/Short TKO) - Supplied by the Kirkhams
*Fidanza FE Aluminum Flywheel
*RAM Powergrip 11" Long Clutch Kit
*McLeod 16932 Clutch Fork
This is a combination that I've sold a gazillion times without issue. Well maybe not a gazillion, but at least a couple billion.
This whole setup is a mimick of an older Ford setup. The bellhousing uses the driver's side L-bracket pivot and the clutch fork uses a spring tab that clips into the pivot. The method of actuation is a slave cylinder that pushes the fork towards the rear of the car, thus pushing the throw out bearing into the clutch fingers.
Arnaud is stating that he has no room for the clutch fork and that it hits on the pressure plate housing.
There has to be a discrepancy somewhere....a manufacturing error, etc. As I'm awaiting his install pictures, we are checking/double checking the part numbers, fitment, etc.
Quicktime says that any Ford pressure plate will work with their bellhousing (and has proven to in the past) and the McLeod clutch fork is the correct fork for a small input Toploader or TKO 500/600 application with a hydraulic or mechanical actuation.
At this point I am stumped and would certainly appreciate any brainstorming.
As I mentioned earlier, there are members on here who I have sold this very combination to, so if you have install pictures to help Arnaud out, they would be welcome as well.
