Pulled the transmission, carefully remeasured and reset the throwout bearing, reassembled and...absolutely no change! I guess I'll wait to see how the clutch works once the car is running and things have a chance to settle in.

I finished the front brake lines. Bending 3/16 line is a lot easier than 1/2. I have to run out to Baer this morning and pick up a few things so I can finish up the rears.

Tilton 6000 series hydraulic release bearing, Tilton 75 series 7/8" master cylinder, Ram Force 10.5" dual disc clutch (came with pressure plate and flywheel), factory clutch pedal.

I think I could go with a 3/4 or 13/16 bore MC to lighten up the heavy clutch feel, but from my understanding, the loss of volume would make the release point issue worse (the Tilton MCs that would work best in my car are all 1.1" stroke).

Fantastic, Jeff!

Super happy to hear you got her fired up and running. Hopefully your tuning adjustments will be simple and easy.

I'd be happy to try and upload your video, but not sure if I'd have any better luck. Text me if you'd like me to try.

Can't wait to go for a ride in her!

Thanks Todd! I’ll let you know when she’s ready for her maiden voyage. Would be great to get together, go for a ride and catch up. Would love to have her all buttoned up by Goodguys in November. Not sure she’ll be autocross ready but that’s the goal.
