Reply to "clutch not engaginging"

Centerforce and McCleod both make a Pantera dedicated clutch.

The Centerforce is a 10-1/2. The McCleod is 11. You can get a Pantera clutch through any of the Pantera vendors. Shop around. Some are less expensive than others, but not my much. Maybe $50?

That doesn't matter much at all though.

The Centerforce is a little lighter on your leg. Both are good for around 800hp.

On your early car you could install the "reduced effort" clutch linkage under the dash. It does help reduce effort.

I really have no idea why your clutch is so screwed up? Probably a Chevy guy installed it. They think they know everything sometimes.

The Pantera clutch isn't rocket science at all but requires a little specialty knowledge. It doesn't take much effort to research but it does require some effort.

You might also want to consider changing the clutch slave cylinder at this time to the long throw unit. The good one is the stainless steel one that Pantera East had made and sells to the other vendors. Most of them carry it also for around $160.
