Hey guys, just picked up this 01 mustang gt for $1000 that only needed a clutch! And being a mechanic that works almost exclusively on fords I figured I had a pretty good deal. But once I put everything back together the clutch seems to drag. I started it in first and it began to creep forward. No big deal I though, just adjust the firewall adjuster further out and it will work. How wrong was I... But what I noticed was when in gear and letting the clutch out it doesn't grab until 2" from the top. So something is dragging. Maybe the pilot bearing because I forgot to replace it with the included one. But I replaced the pivot ball, fork, tob, quadrant, cable, added a firewall adjuster, replaced the friction disk and pressure plate with a stage 1 luk clutch. So what do you guys think? Should I pull it back apart and get a new pilot bearing and flywheel? Or should I have shimmed the pivot ball?
