I am having some clutch linkage issues on my 71 cuda 440-6. For some reason the pedal wont come back up all the way and the overcenter spring keeps pushing it down the floor. I have to lift it with my toe and then it will come up and there will be zero pressure on the fork and throuout bearing.....so when im shifting fast obviously I cant do that, and I have burnt the cltch like 3 times so far.....real bad! I am using a McLeod Pressure plate. http://www.brewersperformance.com/products.asp?cat=253 MC1018 McLEOD 10.95" 18 SPLINE STREET CLUTCH PKG Any input or suggestions? Anybody had similar issues before? I have been told to just pull the overcenter spring out....but wont that cause the pedal to be way to stiff? Also, will the small spring on the fork be enough to completely lift pressure off the throwout bearing to avoid constant rub when the pedal is not being pressed?

I'm not a stick guy but I'd think mismatched parts or the adjuster rod needs to be unthreaded out longer. W pedal depressed how much freeplay do you have between 'wheel/disc?

The one time way back when I ran a stick the pedal would only come partly up & lengthening the adjuster rod solved it. I Hope your solution is that easy

stock linkage will have a spring from fork to bellhousing, adjust linkage so you have 1/4-1/2 freeplay in pedal, if you have been burning clutchs most likly did not have enough freeplay
all parts are sold as is, all parts are considered used no warranties or returns paypal/check/money order, shipping is from zip 02891, buyer pays paypal fees 24% IRS 1099A plus 3% of part price, check/money order preferred site is not monitored 24/7 there might be a delay in response
