Need 4-speed Help
Dartnut: Appreciate the thought, but have already check SS alignment to the pp and flywheel. Unfortunately, for the price of shipping a stock bellhousing to/from Canada, would be cheaper to buy from ebay. Plus, still need pivot and different z-bar. But, really do appreciate the offer. thx...
fstfish66: Thanks for the private note of encouragement. Have listed all the previous, but it is a long thread, so I'll relist.
- Problem: with clutch pedal fully released and clutch engaged, under load (e-brake on or car on ground), a high pitch squeal comes from the clutch or tranny and the car won't move
- Throwout bearing is new
- With clutch pedal fully released, there is play in the fork, about .25," so the fork/TO bearing is released from pressure plate
- Trans is used from swap meet and was claimed to be rebuilt, but no proof
- Car was originally a slant six stick, but pivot bracket was fabricated to align z-bar in the correct position (horizontally/vertically) relative to the SFI scattershield
If not the clutch assembly, could the be something about the trans I could check that would cause slipping/squealing noise? Linkage has been properly aljusted w/slots aligned and shift levers checked to ensure engaged in full shift position. Also, mechanism to ensure both 1-2 and 3-4 are not simultaneously engaged is working properly...
I'm out of ideas or things to check...
