I did the 351w swap in my 93 coupe. Since i installed the combo my clutch seemed harder to push in. So i thought maybe i had the clutch in backwards?I pulled the trans and it's correct. I was woundering if it could be that a 351w is a tad bit longer witch would be the cause?Also when i went to install the cable back in the clutch fork i couldnt get it in the fork almost like it needed adjusted more.I didnt do anything with the adjustment when i removed it from my 302 just pryed the fork in so i could slip the cable out like i always do.But when i reinstalled the cable with the 351 i had to loosen the nuts on the cable to get it in the fork. I know on my 95 i installed the clutch backwards and it was hard to push in then later after i sold the car the kid kept breaking cables till we figured it out. I have a spec stage 2 clutch,and it's the same one i had behind my 302 (cause it was new). Any ideas? If i have a double hook quadrant would that effect the stiffness of the clutch pedal? It could just be me cause i'm use to the stock clutch pedal pressure in my 4 banger.The clutch seems to function properly and grabs good just stiff. peace
the block has the same exaxt mount points for trans/etc. Is your trans bolted all the way up to the block? Did you route the cable correctly? Is the quadrant or anything binding?
Ive had two specs and both were extremely hard for what stage they were. Not sure why thinkin maybe just a spec thing i have a different clutch now and it is no where near as hard.
