Reply to ""locked" clutch?"

I can tell you, back in the day, before I knew anything about Pantera's, I made the mistake of buying a Mustang clutch for my Pantera. I only had the car for a couple of months and was installing a new motor and clutch.

So after the long rebuild process, smoothing the engine compartment, re-installing everything, I was excited to get her back on the road.

To make a long story shorter, I got in the car and could not put her in any gear when running. I shut off the car, put her in gear and attempted to start the car with the clutch in. The car lurched forward. The clutch felt normal to my foot.

Come to think about it, I purchased the Mustang clutch because I thought the price the vendors wanted for a clutch was ridicules. I still think that, by the way. And I thought to myself, what could be different. So I went ahead with the purchase of the Mustang clutch from Summit.

So now I can't drive the car, crap. what-to-do, what-to-do...

I made a call to Pantera East and ordered a long throw slave cylinder, installed that puppy and ran the car for years with any issues whatsoever.

So, in the end, Yes, they are different. BUT, one can get the Mustang unit to work...
