What happens is as the rpm rises the centifigal force pushes the clutch fingers up. The diaphram clutch fingers really move compared to the long clutches.

Every time I have a clutch problem my racer friends always ask, what did you set the clearance at?

Now in a Mustang you would set the position of the throwout bearing by holding the clutch in the fully engaged position with the pedal and set the clearance between the disc and the flywheel/pressure plate with a feeler gauge.

I think the long clutch is a minimum of .035" and the diaphragm is more. I want to say .045" but my memory isn't as good as it used to be.

This is going to set the TOB in it's proper position and this is also where the special Pantera disc with zero Marcel built in is going give you the extra travel needed.

If these clearances don't work right then you don't have a Pantera clutch set in there.
Dennis at Pantera Performance understands all of this which is why we recommend him. If he screwed up on this then you had better check to see if aliens have taken him and substituted a lookalike in his place. Big Grin
