So I'm test-fitting my engine and transmission in the car right now, and I'm having some problems. Perhaps someone can offer some advice.
Engine is a 2.7 liter, transmission is a 901 pull clutch, mount (for now) is a Patrick Motorsport piece. Issue #1: supposedly the clutch cable to use is a 72-74 911 unit. The sheath is a little short, though, and making a bracket isn't necessarily easy because part of the crankcase prevents me from having a straight shot. I have an idea of how to do this, but I'm wondering if anyone's done this before. Here's a pic: Attached image(s) |

JP,
The 9 inch clutch from Kennedy use a special "thick" throwout bearing. This causes it to sit much closer to the pressure plate than a stock 901 T-O bearing. This is why you "can" remove the shim under the ball socket.. KEP designed the clutches with a stock setup.. but they have to deal with 30 years of people shimming the ball socket. B |
