Hey FABO! Doing a shake down on a friends new 67 Dart and smoked the clutch pretty good. Dual disc Mcleod (diaphram) and quick time scatter, A833 and Z bar. It seems like not enough travel in Z bar and it hits the starter when the clutch is fully engaged although I believe it prevents full...

The low pedal is your problem. And the distant bearing proves it, along with the fork coming off the TO legs.You probably have the wrong fork pivot bracket. and or too short a fork. Go to the Brewers Site and have a look. With the correct parts, the pedal will park at the top. Then when...

update. still 1/2" between fork and bell. going to make spacer frontside of fork. Since im out of threads on adjuster. But enough to keep inside fork hole. Let you know manana. Or weld up oval hole on adjuster bolt giving me another 3/8" travel. Dave

That 9.5 was designed for up to about 300 ftlbs, and You know a 5.2 Magnum makes that probably by 3200 rpm, probably less.Anyway, that 9.5clutch and the short-arm pedal are a match , therefore, you shouldn't have to mod it to the aforementioned 6inch pin-to-pin measurement. Instead, look to the...

A lot of that linkage slop is designed into the system for ease of installation. The way to get rid of it is with the factory anti-rattle spring, that sucks the fork into a parked position, pulling the TOB off the fingers. If you don't have that spring or if it is incorrectly installed, then I...

This past weekend was a bust... After screwing around with the Z-bar and how to get that in and mounted I finally got down a process to get that in. It fits great side to side but I have no idea if it has enough travel.... As I was trying to connect the Z-bar to the rod that connects to the...

It’s a pretty simple system. What adjustment issues are you having? I run a z-bar modified to TTI specs, but I have a standard bell. Still, at that point the only real differences you’re looking at come down to the pivot location and clutch fork location/travel.

None of the parts I listed are non-stock. They are all reproductions of the original parts purchased at Brewers. Do you know if the short Fork Pivot is correct? Brewer told me that the small one is for a big block and the larger one is for the small block. They should know, but I still wonder...

this part is normal As already asked; is the factory anti-rattle spring, also called fork-return, in place ? Is your downrod from the pedal assembly rubbing on the edge of the big oval hole in the firewall? Remove the downrod from the Z-bar. Now gently push the pedal down about 2 inches and...

I see that there's not a whole lot of information in regards to faceplated 833 transmissions. I am going to share my experience with assembly and results of having a faceplated transmission. I sent my gear set to Libertys Gears for the faceplating machine work, cryo treatment, and thermal...

The engines are designed with the movement of the engine taken into consideration. That's why there are pivots on the clutch linkage. Make sure you limit the total engine travel with a chain or interlocking motor mount like a Mity Mount or Poly mount from Schumacher. I just put an American Power...

Thanks again for responding to temporary unknown issues. 5.2 magnum runs great,as well as in gear with drive train/rear end and above ground. Do not hear any noises coming from clutch system while starting in gear and running at idle or giving it gas. I will look into this weekend and respond...

I did double clutch it on the street. It looked like they only engaged on half of the tooth and I measured the slider travel and it would travel back and forth about. 1-5/16" and the throw on the fork from third gear detent to fourth gear detent was 15/16". So I'm not sure if the transmission...

When I switched over I remember having issues with the pivot fork bracket bending and cracking when I installed a Hayes street strip clutch. I also didn't have enough fork rod adjustment and had to weld some all thread to extend it. I started with a lakewood bell housing and no matter what...the...

Sorry I missed that. It’s a borg and beck 3 finger from Brewers. Everything is from them. I still have the over center spring in. I called them today and Dan said he’s never heard of anything like this. Hmmm. Ps- travel limiter ?? The fork isn’t touching the bell. Z bar aligned well and is...

I installed a new "factory replacement B&B clutch" and did a preliminary adjustment of the rod to the clutch fork so to have a little clearance be the release bearing and clutch fingers. With the engine off the pedal feels fine when pushing it to the floor and through it travel. When I started...

I ended up adding a little more free play in the linkage. I now have the factory spec of 5/32" at the end of the fork. I took the car for a drive and I'm still getting the grinding when I put the clutch down near the floor. Something is wrong with the clutch that I installed. The stock clutch...

As I said earlier........ (after fixing the leaks!!).......... Make sure it actually IS bled, and make sure your pedal movement is fully stroking the master. People get all "hung up" on stuff like pedal ratio, but the simple fact is, when the pedal is up, and the pedal is...

...the shifting problem. I talked to a friend this morning who thinks that I might have a modified or changed z-bar causing too clutch fork travel . I really don't think so, but I'm going to measure the length of the lower arm to see what it is. At this point, I do not know what the stock...

I was watching your "clutch movement" video and something isnt right (But you know this don't you) It appears to me that something isn't moving mechanically. Is the clutch release bearing moving on the input shaft? can you disconnect the clutch down to just the fork and see how that feels...

Hi guys, help needed! I'll start from the top, I purchased a Keisler hydraulic TO kit here in Australia a while back and damaged the bearing housing, can't get a replacement so I thought I'd set up an external slave cyl, using all the Keisler stuff (apart from the TO bearing). The problem I'm...

Maybe you just pushed it too far? and the fingers got into the springs. I know on my 1969 linkage and at 1/2 to 1 inch freeplay the clutch is separated at about (guessing) 80% of the available pedal travel. There is (guessing again) about 1 to 1.25 inches at the bottom of extra travel that I...

OK are you saying when you "give up" on depressing the pedal you can only get it down so far, and there's 6" left between the pedal and floor? Some generalities: IF the above is true certainly is not right. Start by opening a bleeder and see if the pedal goes on down freely...

So by saying the clutch is done do you mean I need a new clutch? And I am unsure if the slave was original or not the one I took off looked like it had been there for quite some time but the piston I believe is what it's called was stuck in place all the way back and not moving at all. I was...

I am planning on putting a hydraulic clutch in my 71 Barracuda. I called Centerforce about it, asking about how much travel the throwout bearing needs, they said 1/2 inch. I lean towards keeping the master cylinder rod near the stock location not to affect the pedal ratio too much and moving the...

Which linkage or rod would be slotted.

I have a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch setup on a new 10.5" steel flywheel. I fabricated a hydraulic linkage with a Wilwood master and a pull-type slave cylinder to a conventional fork/throwout bearing. It's inside a Lakewood so there's not much of a view other than through the fork hole. I...

Yup, I had it backwards. The bigger piston will make the pedal easier, and IIRC make the throw shorter, as in brake pedal travel, or in your case, clutch pedal travel. So that would make the slave push, or pull the fork more, if I'm not blowing smoke up my own hind parts. I keep forgetting your...

Turns out this issue has been covered in depth right here on FABO... Anyone running a hydraulic clutch with their 833? It does seem that 1" of travel at the original fork hole is required. So I will be locating the new hole where I get 1" with my current setup, rather than mess with different...

Oooh, right where I like em. :D Sounds normal for a new clutch to me, but if it bugs you that much change your linkage geometry so the pedal travels more with less travel at the fork. The only real problem with that is when the clutch wears and the disengagement point gets lower and lower on the...
