Bill, a related question on stock vs. Tilton;
I"m fitting an aluminum flywheel, 7 1/4 tilton single plate.
From my collection; I have a couple collars for release bearings,
that are different lengths, in what look like PO modifications to
deal with the different standoff distance off rear of the block given
modified flywheel/pressure plates.
With a tilton setup, how do you control the throw such that you don't
over-extend the diaphram spring? Do the hydraulics take up the
slack, do you have to use a different collar to control the throw
distance, or do you have put a hard stop for the lever arm?
After installing the tilton, and a longer collar, I have about 3/8"
play between fully retracted and when the release bearing first touch
the tilton diaphragm spring.
What else should I look for? I unfortunately didn't measure the
lightened stock steel flywheel & stock clutch setup standoff distance
prior to this change.
Thanks
