No pictures, but here is Troy launching it off idle a few years ago ...

Was the pressure plate broke?

[yeahloh95]

just got in from garage, it had to be the pressure plate ,the disc looks fine...? the throw out bearing was running out of true too ?

[yeahloh95]

is the stock clutch a luk? and you can hear that i was clearly above idle on that pass lol

[Martin0660]

Well, most everything is build on a Luk core or parts, so finding it on anything is likely. There are only like two companies that make the basic parts for clutches, everone assmebles as they see fit with those parts (and Luk) is by far the biggest) ... I see a lot of times, someone will but a performance clutch from someone then complain it's only a Luk rebranded ;)

[yeahloh95]

The pressure plate I took out is alot shorter than the spec going in?

[Martin0660]

The spec is deffinately a higher stack ...

That all goes back to my problems with adjustment earlier this year when I changed ... None the less, I've run the spec with the stock bell set-up without issue.

found problem with clutch , it was the pressure plate the rivets pulled out of the straps

Too much rpm in the launch.....:confused:

[yeahloh95]

i think the heat from slipping burned them off lol

Girl technique on the pedal operation ...

Do you have it together yet? Man, this is turning into a long clutch swap :twothumbsup:

[yeahloh95]

it will be together this week i have been cleaning every thing under there while i have it apart

[yeahloh95]

well an update , it has taken way to long, but the trans is back in and the car in on the ground and off the jack stands , all i have left to do is the shifter and console and take it for its break in drive lol

[Martin0660]

F I N A L L Y (Yeah it was that long) :D

Shouldnt need much break in ;)

[Pure Stock]

Nice. Smooth install?

[yeahloh95]

it took a while today, they gave me the wrong throw out bearing , and i took the weight off the driveshaft ,if i would have had some rtv it would have some miles on it already

[Martin0660]

We are NOT going to throw you an anniversary party for this clutch swap no matter how long it takes :)

[PaxtonShelby]

now that's a good burn!!

That is one nice-looking SVO!

[yeahloh95]

welll here is a question

i just finished up my clutch install and took it for my frist drive and its slipping pretty bad, should i have to reset the clutch quadrant? " still stock" i had to pry a good bit to get pin in for the cable, like it was preloaded, so i think its not letting the clutch fully engage any help would be great

[Martin0660]

LIFT up on the clutch pedal to release the pawl, and it should go slack, push the pedal in and it should ratchet to adjust back up.

If it doesent release when lifted, the pawl or something is messed up.

[yeahloh95]

Ok I'll try that thanks

[Pure Stock]

any updates Troy?

[yeahloh95]

yes clutch is adjusted and working but i cant say the same for the 7.5 :(

[Martin0660]

Happy the clutch adjusted ....

I'm not responsible for your 7.5 ;)

[yeahloh95]

what should i do fix the clutch pack in 7.5 or replace it with a 8.8 ?

Your asking the guy that blew up two 8.8's in one season with a 4 banger??? LOL

I thought by the description above you fragged it ... is it just one wheeling? If so DO NOT do anything agressive on it. In reality, thet's why I was blowing up 8.8's, the clutches would slip, put all the power into the other spider gear, then explode it. I can not see anything good coming of that with a 7.5 ;)

[yeahloh95]

its getting an 8.8 just not sure which one yet
