Is that the little round piece with the square base that goes into the clutch fork??? The south bend came with a new one. Could it be bad already??? I never heard the stock clutch make any noise at all. I should've went back with stock. What a drag. Wonder if I call south bend, if they would be any help.

Yes,,, actually the south bend came with a new flywheel. And throw out bearing, clutch plate, and pressure plate. It's all new. We're loaded up now bout to fire it up n head out. We will c how it does. I hope it will clear up. I'd like to make a couple dollars before pullin the trans---- again.

The only thing in that kit that slides over the trans shaft is the throw out bearing in the clutch fork.

Anthony, was your clutch plate marked "this side towards flywheel" anywhere on it? I'm just asking because mine wasn't and had to call about it.

I'm hoping I didn't mess it up,,, I have a bad habit for breaking in the clutch, but a great habit for making one last. Here it is,,,, anytime I shift, I don't push the clutch to take it out if gear. I always push it in to put it in the next gear,, but I have to think about pushing in the clutch before taking it out of gear. If its hit right, as soon as the throttle is let off, it will come outta gear smooth. I look at it that I'm not wearing the clutch to release the tension. Just to put it in gear.
I really like the halo lights,,, I tried to take pics last night, but the light wasn't right. They are definitely different.

Funney you say that anthony about the clutch and Not using it to get out a Gear
When you get really good you will only need it to start the yruck from a Stop
I drove alot of vehicles and only used the clutch to start out from stop
You can pull it out and put it in with no clutch you just have to be at right speed
The little cars work the best

clutch
It pretty hard to mess up a clutch install, are you being a little hard on yourself. If the clutch works and you installed the plate right and everything was tight as it should be my thoughts our how? Bad clutch maybe.

The pedal feels like it should go down more,,, but the heap n release points are fine.
I've got some pics. Got a sweet load
Kinda hard to see the halos n the pics
Finally gonna make some $$$$$
Here they are. Looks kinda funny up close,,, but looks good when I stand back
LEDs everywhere
The marker lights are the only reg bulbs
I've got the 4 up fitter switches too. Talk bout a control freak
I like this,,,, had to glue em up, but they've been there for 6 yrs. I think they're stayin.
I might be overthinking the clutch,,, I hope. It is hard at times to get into gear,,, not like the clutch is the issue tho, it doesn't try n roll as I try,,, I took the trans to the car wash before I resealed it,,, I didn't plug the lines,,,, I'm sure some water got n there. I will deal with that when it's time. I was finding remans for $2k. Maybe it will free up. I'm runnin Mobil 1 full synthetic ATF.
Just dropped the first oil,,,, Back to normal life. Hopefully. Lol

Looks good! Like all the switches on the left side. Now that I know your ride, I'll keep an eye out for you here in the Portland/Vancouver area.
