Exact same problem!!
Had Ford Clutch
No change
Toploader rebuilt by David Kee
No change
Rebuilt Tilton Hyd. throwout bearing
No change
"Re-adjusted" shifter linkage
No change
Installed new pilot bearing
No change
If I got my numbers correct, the Centerforce should release at .450 inches travel
A Tilton throwout bearing will BLOW THE SEAL at .700 inches travel
I have a 7/8" Tilton master clyinder which will move the throwout bearing .496 inches
I have to use the entire movement of the master to get the trans to reasonably shift. This is pushing the limits of the system.
For mechanical reasons, I have a hard time keeping the clutch in adjustment. As soon as I lose even 1/8" travel at the master, I begin to have big problems shifting.
I am absolutely positive I am not getting enough travel at the clutch
