Well, I called them today again and got hold of a live person ( 2 of them actually) the O rings to fix it are supposed to be on the way. Also discussed changing over to their mew style fittings, but that required sending the T/O bearing to them. I decided to just keep on with the fittings I swapped to ( AN brake adapter fittings from Summit Racing) rather than sending it off and having the Ranger down another couple weeks ( or longer). Hopefully the O rings will be here by next week. My position on McCleod went up a couple notches after talking with them today, but I'd still go with an external slave setup if using a 5 speed like the T5 or Tremec. I've got my bearing adjustment procedure down to where it takes about an hour at longest, but my procedure wouldn't work as well in a Classic Stang. On the Ranger, my self built crossmember sits up inside the frame rails secured by a single 1/2 bolt per side, so I don't have to remove it or the trans to adjust the bearing, just have to unbolt the trans from the bell, replace two bolts with a pair of 6 or 7 inch alternator pivot bolts and slide the trans back to access the bearing's adjuster sleeve.gp001 said:OK, a couple tips I've learned from trying to contact McLeod:
1. Their "Contact Form" doesn't work. They never get the e-mail. They don't know/carew whats wrong with the website
2. They have strange Tech support hours. I have the goofy hours at home on my 2004 catalog and will PM them to you this evening when I get home. I will also send you the local (non 800) number in case you want to try that number.
I actually got so fed up I just went down there (fairly local to me).
