Just went out to try the car and really smooth no noise... but I will keep a close eye (ear)on it.. thanks

I am pretty sure it was making it only when the clutch pedal was pushed to the floor only.... I just went to start it the was no noise ( but engine was still warm) but I will try it later on tonight when the engine is cold.. thanks

Hey guys I just installed a new mcleod clutch kit plus new pilot and TO bearing. I just started the car (68 Cuda 383 ) and when I push in the clutch I get a little squeak but when the car warms up it goes away. Are these TO bearings greased from mcleod? Does anything have to break in? Any...

That's disappointing. . Why would Nation Moparts sell this product? Well.. another hold on the project.

I have NOT installed it yet because it has been bugging me, it doesn't make sense to remove a bronze bushing and install a iron based (steel) bushing. I am not a expert at what bushing to use so I will wait for a little more advice. This is not a job I want to do a third time.. thanks

I was just worried about somthing possibly wearing prematurely.. I did get the part from National Moparts (Canada ) witch are usually known for good products.. I guess I will use it. Thanks

Hey guys I was just about to install my new input shaft bushing (what a thought was brass) but it put a magnet to it and it stuck.. my old bushing was brass and my new one must be some kind of metal. Is it ok to still use it? Thanks

Could this cause clutch chatter?

Here is a picture of my flywheel after I had it resurfaced than put maybe 200 miles on the car ( with clutch chatter ). Is this what a recent resurfaced flywheel should look like? When I first picked it up from machine shop I thought it would of had a more smother surface like the face of the...

Yes.. and another thing is that the mcleod tech guy told me now that I have a "so called " new clutch disc I would need a new or freshly resurfaced flywheel to rebed the disc.

Good question.. I recently rebuild the engine ( stock 68 383) also installed new mcleod clutch kit and I also had my original flywheel resurfaced. When I put it all together I experienced severe clutch chatter only in first gear. I drove the cuda for 2 seasons the chatter stayed the same. I tore...

Just for the record.. I am not questioning the price, I relize the Canadian dollar is not the best these days, and I assume national moparts imports most of there product. I am questioning the quality of the flywheel...

Well I emailed national moparts "Nigel" asking if he knew who manufacturer of there flywheel was.. his response was " it is a Chinese white box piece, no idea who the manufacturer is" I don't like the sounds of that for 300+ $. Might look into having my old flywheel resurfaced. .

Ok cool thanks guys....

Thanks guys I will contact them and see if I can find out who makes them.

Hey guys I am considering buying a new flywheel for my 68 383s 4 speed cuda, anyone running a National moparts flywheel? They have one for 299$. Just want some feed back if possible. the car is mainly stock.. thanks

Correct. I think shifting into reverse could be a little smother. But I can't compare it to another 4 speed. Maybe I will ask a 4 speed owner at cruise night to try there car lol....Thanks

Well I got the shifter all lubed up and back in car . Working pretty good. Thanks guys

Well I got her opened up . Besides really grimy (hardened old grease ) only thing I found that looked like a problem was this "half "thin washer (first pic) and a stick bolt that was worn 35%" it's worse than it looks" (second pic) Can anyone pinpoint where this washer is from? BTW it is a...

Well I got the shifter out of car. Looks pretty grimy. Still cannot get reverse on shifter when secured in vise. So I guess I will open it up.

Thanks for the video Dave. ..

Well said.... thanks

Yes... but I am pretty sure my reverse lever doesn't have the hole, so I lined it up by eye with the other 2 levers . Is that ok? Thanks

So I put both forward levers of the shifter in center or neutral (with shifter rods unhooked) and still shifter will not shift into reverse..

Ok thank you.. I will try that to see if my shifter will shift into reverse without rods connected..

Another thing that makes me think somthing let go on the shifter is it was working good. And all of a sudden it wouldn't shift over to reverse.

Hey guys tonight my 68 Cuda 4 speed would not shift into reverse so I got under the car and I could shift it into reverse with the shifter rod. I went ahead and removed all 3 shift links off the shifter and still cannot shift into reverse on shifter (original Hurst). Should the shifter (with...

I had my flywheel resurfaced and wiped with brake clean.. but maybe it was not resurfaced correct. Another thing that ticks me off is my old cooked clutch and warn flywheel and very dirty. And had zero chatter.

Did you install a new flywheel or have your resurfaced?

Don't know but it us really anowing.
