Guys,

For over a year McLeod has had a NEW t/o bearing...it is the GM Corvette design, GM abandoned the patten.

It eliminates the god-awful BANJO fittings.

I have the VERY FIRST preproduction unit in my ERA 289 FIA...16 months later, 3000 miles of Los Angeles stop and go, shift, shift, shift, it works fine...it is still "dry" when you reach in through the bell housing.

If you have the old unit, DO NOT REBUILD IT...Call McLeod, they will retrofit the new housing at a nominal cost, last I heard.

Unless your time is worth dirt, it is worth what you have to pay for the new/upgrade, it may be free, I dunno.

Then, you MUST limit pedal travel...I used a bolt throught the foot box with several nuts to lock, and stablilize it to the clutch pedal, and adjusted it to just release...if it overextends, YOU screwed up...not McLeod.

In any event, send it back, they will upgrade it.

You will then be happy.

Pete
