no i didnt. look at the first pic of the clutch. it has a sticker that says flywheel side.
oh hell yeah, you got it backwards!!!!!
That probably is the correct clutch disc, not really sure why it isn't working for you though. I'm pretty sure the FRPP disc is made for Ford by Centerforce. I went with a McLeod dual friction disc when I did my TKO 600. Worked fine for me. Have you tried calling Astro Performance to see if they've heard of this problem? There has to be a simple solution
dude, it sounds like the bellhousing you're using HAS to be the problem. try a t5 bell and see if that fixs it. and all you people saying springs on the clutch disc do flywheel side...have you ever put a clutch in? the springs in the disc are exposed on both sides, but the part that sticks up off the clutch goes into the pressure plate, not flywheel. geez, common sense here people! like 87mustang351 said, it can only FIT one way.
yep. i went and took some mearsurements. the input shaft on my astro trans sticks out almost 3/4 inch farther than the input shaft on my tremec t-5.
and my bellhousing is about 7'' long. if anybody has a borgwarner trans laying around could you measure and see how long the bellhousins is? from where it mounts to the engine to where the trans bolts up. id like to see if theres any difference.
i have a couple extra t5 bells sitting in my garage. if nobody measures one for you by the time i get off work tonight at 9 central time, i'll do it for you.
*EDIT* i just re-read your post. your INPUT SHAFT is 3/4" longer? sounds like you have an astro t5 set up for an sn95 then. when you kept saying tremec, i thought you meant like a tko or something, not the tremec t5. the bells for both the tremec t5 and borg warner t5 are going to be the same. i had the same problem when i was trying to put in a tremec t5 into my old coupe. it wouldn't go in the last 3/8" no matter what i did. OMG, talk about going CRAZY underneath a car! i was sooooo pissed off and confused. come to find later that it was for an sn95 so i had to change the input shaft and retainer sleeve. fit perfect after that.
Yes, but it will move your trans and shifter back 3/4" and your trans cross member may not line up anymore. The best thing to do is call astro and get them to send you an input shaft for a fox.
geez....I was told that your only suppose to use the Centerforce clutch disc with the Centerforce pressure plate....because they have a different design... but i guess you'll find out
Alignment tool is like 5 bucks at the auto store man. save yourself the battle wounds next time. Or have someone sit in the car with the cable hooked up and gently push it back and forth to get it to line up easily.
