Reply to "Testing the clutch with engine and ZF out of the car"

I had a successful test of the clutch today. I had some concern because the clutch master and slave have been sitting dry for 5 years or so. After some coaxing, the system was free of air and the clutch worked as expected. It is no guarantee that it will work properly once I start driving but I have the same Centerforce setup in my other Pantera and this one feels similar. The other Pantera has a McCleod hydraulic throwout bearing and I like the feel of it a lot more than the factory setup. The McCleod hydraulic throwout bearing is self adjusting and you immediately start disengaging the clutch as soon as you press the pedal. There is no free pedal travel. The down side is that you have to pull the ZF to make any change to it.
