  1. Exedy Mach 500 (clutch)

    What puzzled me was the fact that I did replace everything when I did the original swap including the pilot bearing/slave cylinder and hydraulic line. I am not a clutch guru so I didn’t know what to look for and had to trust the mechanic. Just glad it is now working and good luck with your...
  2. Exedy Mach 500 (clutch)

    OK so it has been 2 years living with the clutch issues mentioned above. We tried a spacer and that did not work, I have been postponing troubleshooting anymore since I don’t drive it much since I bought a Mach E for my daily driver. Last week my mechanic convinced me to just try another clutch...
  3. Exedy Mach 500 (clutch)

    Never had to replace a clutch before so this was a learning experience still in progress. My assumption is as you say that there is too much space at the slave sleeve and not putting enough pressure to the pp fingers. So is the spacer a common fix?
  4. Exedy Mach 500 (clutch)

    I did a search and see that Ram clutches sells a shim (.156)for this exact reason. Worth a try.
  5. Exedy Mach 500 (clutch)

    I just replaced the stock clutch at 100,000 miles on my 2012 Boss. Exedy Mach 500 clutch Exedy lightened flywheel Ford stock slave cylinder Ford stainless steel clutch line MGW shifter After everything is installed it feels like the clutch is not fully disengaging. Reverse is impossible to get...
  6. Ford Racing Suspension Upgrades

    Thanks for the input. I will check the LCA angle tonight. I was always wondering what triggered the brackets. I put the diff cover on because I had to change the fluid and I already had the Panhard bar off, the brake cooling kit I just threw in for kicks. By the way my wife told me I probably...
  7. Ford Racing Suspension Upgrades

    So with the updates I did do I need to add the LCA relocation brackets or adj. camber plates for a daily driver?
  8. Ford Racing Suspension Upgrades

    For $50 that fits the budget.
  9. Ford Racing Suspension Upgrades

    I was looking at that but now have to save money up for a clutch. I can’t believe mine is still shifting. Can’t shift over 6,000rpm but still gets me to work in front of most of my other commuters.
  10. Ford Racing Suspension Upgrades

  11. Worn rear spring isolator - questions

    I was replacing my springs and noticed the same thing as you. Replaced with PN 5R3Z 5586 AA. I have 100k on my Boss and only the drivers side was worn through. I also replaced the lower insulator.
  12. Clutch or Something else

    Just an update. Drove the car a couple hundred miles since putting the new clutch pedal assy. in and everything seems fine. I did have to replace the starter also since it was not wanting to start everytime. It was driving me crazy because I thought it was the clutch switch that I had just...
  13. Clutch or Something else

    Funny how we are all connected somehow. I am just grateful that I had a chance to play my small part. Awesome that you stuck it out for 20.
  14. Clutch or Something else

    If anyone else replaces the clutch pedal assy. I would recommend replacing all 3 switches attached to the assy. Had to order a new brake light switch because the old switch plunger was not long enough.
  15. Clutch or Something else

    Chinooks. I did avionics. Hell of an experience. Had an 83 Mustang gt back then that we used to race around in on the back roads by the shooting ranges.
