A833 4 Speed Problems.

I agree with Cudaspaz, call Brewers, you've got the wrong combination of parts. You should not need to weld an extra length into the adjustment rod. This tells me the geometery between the z-bar and business end of the clutch fork (throw out bearing) is wrong. Good news, it should be easy to correct with new parts from Brewers. Have your bell housing part number ready when you call them.

Here's a link to their web site: http://www.brewersperformance.com/default.htm

I have been having the same type of problem with my 66 Dart. The only thing I changed is the clutch assembly and I can't get it adjusted properly. I went from a factory 9 1/2" to a 10". With it adjusted so the throw-out barely touches the pressure plate fingers it releases within a inch of the floor and it's nearly impossible to shift into reverse. I contacted Brewers and they have been very helpfull. I ordered their clutch kit, fork, and pivot. I have also rebuilt the z bar and replaced the pedal and adjusting shafts.
