Default Re: Clutch ID

Yep I think its a Hays Mark XII Long style pressure plate-- you will need a throwout bearing for a FORD if I remember right ---make sure the face of the bearing lines up with the levers on the clutch--- there are several different styles of bearings not everyone will work correctly---set the air gap fairly close as the disc will expand as it heats up--- Been a long time since I ran one of those but .028-.030 comes to mind --- if your flywheel has bolt holes for 12 bolts use them all it will prevent warping of the ring on the pressure plate--- set your clutch pedal fairly high so a slight depressing will allow the clutch to dis engage---- you don't need to go all the way to the floor with the pedal----if you want to shift from a forward gear to reverse gear push the clutch pedal down and pull the shift lever into reverse you will feel it pop into gear--- if you buzz the trans and it does not go directly into gear you might have to pull the trans and clean the burrs off the synchro rings --- if you booger up the synchro rings it WILL NOT go into gear at high RPM Shifts--- essentially you will miss the gear----use HEIM joints to fasten the shifter arms to the plate shifter arms on the trans--- great working trans we had 4 of them and after figuring out all the idiosyncrasies about them they worked flawlessly--also go get a extra set of snap rings for the trans you will need them----FED 387
