endless clutch problems

[ha_pe_1968]

Thank's a lot for all advices.
And sorry but have forgotten to tell what parts are in the car:
Roush 427R
Mc Leod clutch
Tremec TKO 600

The grinding was solved with the 1" master cylinder, mounting the clutch pedal at the one of the three holes with the most travel for the master cylinder, and adjusting the clutch pedal 1" higher then the brake pedal. When the fluid is fresh everything works great. After a few rides in the mountaines it can be that when i park the car in first gear that i have problems to get out the first gear ...after i am out of the first all gears work without grinding again. Installation should be ok, was done by Olthoff 7 years ago. The noise is new.
What i can really not understand is that there are a lot other cars which have no problems with heat at the clutch fluid and have the same setup.
In the meanwhile i really can understand people with a cable setup or automatic.

Greetings
Peter

Heat problem can be the configuration of the headers. I have the 514 so it is very cramped and the headers are close to the clutch line. I made the heat shield out of a piece of aluminum.

Also, I forgot to mention that I also put in the Pro Shift tower and changed the trans oil to the Special Snake Oil Synthetic blend. MAde some difference, but not much!!

When I first got my SPF with a 427 FE I had the same trouble an you could not shift it above 3000 rpm, it was not releasing. I tried bleeding it an near about wore my wifes leg out. I finally ordered a new MC an when I took the old one out an compared it to the new 1 I saw what was wrong, they left the oring that goes on the remote resavoir off, then I bought a pressure bleeder an bled the system an have not had a problem since. It has 2 remote reserviors 1 on the firewall an 1 under fender by the brake mastercyclinder. You might check this it could be your problem. Flip

Peter ... you mentioned that you have problems getting the tranny out of 1st gear when you leave the car parked with it in 1str gear . I remember a thread a while back where there were numerous problems with the TKO getting stuck in 1st gear when left in gear when you parked . Seems that the "cure" was to never leave the car in gear with the TKO 600 .
Maybe that`s your problem ??
