Gentlemen, your help would be truly appreciated!
I have a factory built CAV running a crate Ford Motorsport 348 engine with a ZFQ transaxle. The clutch action has always been a problem taking huge pressure on the pedal, mainly I think since the angle of the slave cylinder actuation is compromised by the chassis. The gearbox and clutch is now all disassembled and I need to do a few things to remedy the situation, so your input please:-
I have a factory built CAV running a crate Ford Motorsport 348 engine with a ZFQ transaxle. The clutch action has always been a problem taking huge pressure on the pedal, mainly I think since the angle of the slave cylinder actuation is compromised by the chassis. The gearbox and clutch is now all disassembled and I need to do a few things to remedy the situation, so your input please:-
- The clutch plates are worn (after ~1500 miles) and need replacing - suggestions on a clutch for road use (not competition), please
- I am thinking of converting to an "internal" slave cylinder, located within the bell housing and acting directly onto the release bearing. Does anybody have experience with such a set up?
- Anybody any comments to add on the normal setup and how I might modify the chassis to get a better angle for the existing slave cylinder actuation?
