I used a new clutch<br />set and a new adjustable quadrant. I am possibly <br />having trouble with adjusting the clutch. The transmission does'nt seem to be disengaging on the first to second shift, It grinds if I don't make sure to press the clutch pedal all the way to the ground and shift into second easily. I drove this tranny in the last car just before I pulled it. It ran fine then. WTF? Anybody with any ideas will be greatly appreciated!<br /><br />Oh yeah, I used ATF, then switched to gear oil,no change. Still the same. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>FasterDamnit</b> <br /><small>Member # 442</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,7,17,21,44,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Loose the gear oil immediately! The tranny is designed for low-viscosity ATF! Also- what shifter do you have? If the stop is not adjusted properly you may not be goin fully into gear. Where does the clutch engage? Try adjusting the cable so it grabs at higher than 1/2 travel.<br /><br />Hope you didn't put many miles on it w/ the gear oil in it...<br /> <br /> <small>[ August 17, 2003, 09:45 PM: Message edited by: FasterDamnit ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Saint</b> <br /><small>Member # 2746</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,7,17,23,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> LOL Thats hella funny!

I personally have had experience with centerforce (sucked), ram (sucked even more), FMS heavy duty (thumbs up), and McLeod (the best!!) I broke the first two, broke the third but it lasted alot longer, and the fourth has been bulletproof and engaged the best and had the softest pedal. Good luck!! <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
