Roller Bearing Clutch Pedals &
Centerforce Clutch |
|
|
The car
has been together for about a year now and I am finally getting around to
fixing a couple of things that have been bugging me. I originally
went with a 3-finger Zoom clutch to save a little money. The
clutch chattered on very low speed take-offs and the pedals didn't seem to
be quite right. On closer inspection, I found that the front seal on the
transmission had been leaking which put grease on the flywheel.
Also, the clutch and brake pedal hanger was worn and the pedals were
moving around in their mounting holes. I sent the pedals and hanger
off to
Mustang Steve for a full roller upgrade. Then, upgraded to a Centerforce clutch set. Wow, what a difference! The clutch
releases silky smooth and the pedals don't rattle around like they used
to. |

I had to get under the car again and pull down the tranny. That was a piece of cake compared to removing the pedals and brackets. What a PITA. |

Here's the Clutch and Brake pedal hanger after Mustang Steve did his magic. The new races hold two full roller bearings. Feels like a new car. This is one of the best $90 you can spend on your Mustang. |

Here's the tranny after I installed the new seal. The seal was $13 from NAPA. I'm getting a little old for this tranny thing, but you do what you have to do... |
