Re: 10 " long PP
I have discussed this with Fort Wayne Clutch because I have had the same problem with my T5 kits in the last couple years. I have not changed any parts in over 25 years. My theory is that the fingers on the new reproduction pressure plates are to flat without the proper upward angle required for throw out bearing contact. Plus they don't have the adjuster bolts in the fingers anymore. With my kit I have always recommend 3/16th to 1/4 inch free play. They have not been very responsive to my theory?

Re: 10 " long PP
The three fingers appear close to being correct. As the clutch wears and becomes thinner the fingers will become closer to the frame of the pressure plate. May have a problem with the throw-out hub or bearing???
Are all three of the hex head bolts that attach the stamped PP frame to the PP casting tight against the stamped medal frame? From one of your photos one of the bolts appears loose with space between the bolt head and the stamper PP frame. |

Re: 10 " long PP
I had a few PMs that asked the same question to me/ I've always used the 91/2 late long PP, and since the late 50's never used the 1 3/8 transmission . Drag racing with the olds engine wouls destroy then in an instant. Today I use the T-5or t170 and alot of autos as well. I see to pulpous in using the early trans unless your restoring a stock drive train.

Re: 10 " long PP
Hi Pete what is the 10" PP on ? This one is on a 8 BA (flat fly wheel). I think the 10 " PP is setup for a 59 AB.

Re: 10 " long PP
Hi Gramps I'm building a pre war Hot Rod, it's a 27 roadster on a 28 chassis, 37 rear, 32 cross member, 39 trans. 4 in. 28 axle. You know the drill. NUT N FANCY. I'm wondering what setup was used in the pickups with the 3 speed trans. behind a 8BA.
