Need 4-speed Help

All,
Sorry for the delay in responding. Have been busy, but hope to log some time this weekend..

mullinax95 - Thanks for the recommendation on the diaphragm style pp. Probably won't change pp's yet since I made the decision to go w/this style and trying to stay on a budget. Plus, I think the first problem was due to my inexperience and the rattling noise was my lack of knowledge. Have since learned that only 3 rollers are by design and are for centrifugal assist which means at higher rpms, increase pressure on the clutch disk/flywheel... Just need to be more careful to align when I install the trans..

fstfish66 - Leg not sore yet, but haven't even driven the car around the block yet. May regret if I get stuck in traffic someday, but maybe the extra workout will save me a trip to the gym... After reading up more on the roller assist, it appears it helps with increased pp pressure at higher rpms via centrifugal force.. Interesting, but makes sense.

TO bearing, fork, pp arms are all correct and good after close inspection. Also, thanks for the torque specs and recommendations. Agreed with the Borg Beck style of pp, there is very little room for error. I was able to get it right the second try, so will need to replicate that effort.

mopar head - Agreed, you did tell me that. I think early on, I couldn't visualize what you were describing until recent inspection of the pp.

At this point, I've concluded that it is definitely a bad clutch. I think problem 1 (Squealing) caused problem 2 (Shuttering - bad clutch). Seems like the squealing was caused by the trans not being aligned and causing the pp to not fully disengage and the squealing was the slipping pp vs. clutch plate/flywheel. This glazed the clutch plate which is now causing the chattering clutch.

Picked up a cheap dial indicator ($8) and magnetic stand ($9) to measure ss opening alignment to crank and will reassemble with a new clutch disk. If all goes well, will know by the end of the weekend... Wish me luck!
