McLeod hydraulic t/o with Centerforce clutch
My apologies for the double post...
For 10 years, but only about 2500 really easy, tho' often stop 'n start, city miles i've run a top loader, McLeod Hydraulic T/O and Centerforce counterweighted clutch. Third gear got totally chewed up and the 3&4 synchros, as well. In fixing the problem, my helper (and pro mechanic) noted that the McLeod instructions (I guess I didn't see them 10 years ago) say not to use the McLeod hydraulic t/o with the Centerforce clutch, without removing the counterweights. Of course, Centerforce says never to remove the weights. Does anyone know anything about this? thanx steve ADD: the car is 427/SO Kirkham |
I would imagine the weights could potentially hit the bearing.
So many issues with those clutches and Cobras....those counterweights cause way too many issues, and of course if you take them off, you lose clamping force. Willing to look at a new clutch? |
well, of course, that thought X'd my mind, but I think I'm going with the Kirkham mechanical throw bearing setup. thanx for your thoughts. s
