Reply to ""locked" clutch?"

George PAdmin.

The two long style pressure plate photos illustrate an interesting point.

John's photo illustrates how Ford modified their long style pressure plate by cutting off the weights at the end of the levers in order to clear the bell housing.

The McLeod clutch in Doug's photo retains the weights on the ends of the levers ... they get away with this by designing a Pantera specific pressure plate that mounts the levers 0.100" closer to the flywheel (compared to their standard Ford pressure plate) to gain the clearance needed to allow the weights to miss the bell housing. The aftermarket clutch retains the advantage of the weighted levers.
