Buellitt 10 Report post Posted October 6, 2013 Ive got a Mach S code Im finishing up, numbers matching toploader 4 close ratio 4 speed with factory Hurst T handle style shifter. Everything gone through. New Zoom 2 clutch, and bell housing taken off large 70 truck d/t crack in the originals fork opening. Car drives and shifts, but shudders a lot on slow or incline take offs. Clutch fork can be moved about an inch top to bottom in the opening. Is this normal? Also can anyone post a pic of a similar linkage, so I can see if my bushing kit is accurate? seems like I need washers or something behind the clips..

Endeavour32 10 Report post Posted October 8, 2013 One thing I notice is that your using a truck bellhousing, they are different than what was used in a Mustang (longer). Did you have the driveshaft cut to make it work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buellitt 10 Report post Posted October 17, 2013 Yes, the driveshaft was fabricated. The clutch engages ok, it just doesnt seem right for the fork to have so much up and down play. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Conway 264 Report post Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) My set up is stock. 428 & 4 speed. Very hard to get 3/8" of up or down movement in the arm. Suggestions; your throw out arm connection to the bell housing needs a clutch release lever bracket. The throw out bearing should be firmly attached to the throw out arm. Did you install a new pilot bearing ? Brian Edited October 17, 2013 by Brian Conway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buellitt 10 Report post Posted December 1, 2013 Yes, new bearing also..Im in the process of replacing my steering box when I get an hr here and there. Will take the inspection cover off and take a look when possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
