Yes you are right, Kube, as already missed out replacing the clutch plate and only did clutch disc and bearings. And now need to do the clutch plate as some slipping was still occuring. Thought plate looked ok but it should have been checked properly with spring tensions etc. Always a learning curve there some where. At low load was ok but not high load. Idling: 810 lbs. 6000 rrpm:1685. So if springs not right wont get the 1685 at high load which i believe is what i was experiencing.
These Ford Service Bullitens have all this useful info.
As they say do it right first time and do it correct.
Thanks,
Phil NZ
