clutch and flywheel time
well thanks to neal 97 250 i may have my shifting issues resolved soon...
after a new clutch master and the " permanent ford clutch rod fix" were installed with no luck fixing my issue...
looks like the original 250k mile clutch and dual mass have decided to take a crap.
looking to convert to single mass. ive found a good deal on a clutch from valair, but now im looking for a flywheel.
anyone got a used flywheel they wanna sell?

I picked up my clutch for from Clay, but he just drop shipped it to me from parts guy ed.
you can pick up the button too if you want.
Are you positive that you got all the air out of the system on your new clutch? I had trouble bleeding mine at first.
I ended up loosing all my clutch, and then I stabbed it down and up about 20 times really quick and it worked all the air back up into the master and its been fine since.
Depending on how long you can have your truck down, you might not need a fork, or the pivot point that I purchased as well. All depends on what has been done in the past and how well it was taken care of. Mine were both bad, so I replaced them both.
The Valair flywheel was high quality stuff. I was happy with all their products as well as their customer service.
Though, I'm still waiting on my damned hat.
