I guess I wasn't clear enough. Need some info. What tranny are you running, what brand/manufactorer of clutch are you using, what engine is it and approx. H.P., what rear gears are ya using and is it a suregrip. Where have you been buying your release bearings and who manufactored them, eg. Timken/SKF/NTN???????????????

360 @ 408CI 452HP 517Ft TQ with lakewood SFI Bellhousing the it gets strange, custom Borg clutch built by Custom racing clutchs here in Colorado then we have a 833 parts in a 733 housing I have had two tranny guys look at it and they don't understand how it could be done the I am not sure what gears in the rear end. The car has always had solid motor and tranny mounts and when I tried putting in normal mounts it shreaded then just like the $600 racing clutches that I bought for it before getting this one made

You might need to put a spacer between the bellhousing and fork pivot.

Does the clutch act line a sprint cr in/out set up. It's either on or off with very little pedal movement?

 

[RBROD]

Although I do know that the rear end is at best a limited slip

 

[RBROD]

yes and you can't play with it

A spacer under where the fork spring clips to the housing

Yes. I've had to put a spacer behind them with lakewoods up to 3/8"

That engine should not be destroying clutches or TO bearings…. You have something installed wrong, you can't shift right or you ride the clutch all the time.
