T18 Clutch... My Findings with the clutch disc

I got the tranny out tonight, funny how it pretty much came out without and effort tonight, but on sunday it would not come off the engine. Anyway, i got my stock mustang clutch disc and compraed to the centerforce disc. Odd thing both of them look IDENTICAL!!! I mean from spring position to surface they are identical. The differnce is the middle spline hub. Centerforce disc is 1/8 longer than the stock disc, and you can tell on th ecenterforce disc that i was rubbing some kind of metal (Throwout bearing or pressure plate on the top of the spline hub. So I am guessing this 1/8 of distance will fix it. Only reservation i have about this is that 1/8 is not much at all. Do you all think this would let me finally disengage the clutch?? Just doesnt seem much But that is the only damage i saw in the clutch. The marks on the spline hub, nothing else is bent. Now i have to fix the oil leak in the front of the tranny and throw it back together, i just hope this fixes it, if not. i am going to go crazy!!!!!

 

well that is good to know.... HHHMMM hey Mike how easy would it be for to take down the centerforce hub about 1/8 of an inch??

 

I may take you up on it, i am thinknig bout having a spare just incase. I am just hoping this will work with the other disc. Really is sad that you pay extra for a "Centerforce" disc and it is the same as the stock one But it still should be bettre with the centerforce pressure plate, i am glad i got that one
