Ok, in continuance of my clutch problems.
If you remove the trans shield and look at the pressure plate while the car is idling, you can see it wobbling. That in turn causes the clutch fork to wobble, causing the pedal to wobble, etc.
What does a wobbling pressure plate mean? It bites hard but it makes some very odd noises while it is engaged. If I disengage the clutch the sounds go away. The sounds are hard to describe, 1 is definately the TOB.
A Ford tech told me (the one who initially looked at it) either the pressure plate wasn't torqued down correctly, the clutch wasn't aligned with the pilot bearing correctly, or it's a defective part. The shop is currently looking at my car, he says something is wrong with the input shaft. I had asked the Ford tech about the input shaft, he said if there was something wrong with it, I wouldn't be able to shift very well.
Any ideas??? I'm calling the shop guy back in an hour, he's going to look at the car some more. This clutch install has been a PITA.
FRPP HD clutch, flywheel worked on too. Clutch feels good but makes horrible noises and PP wobbles.
