Reply to "Throw out bearing touching clutch"

The removeable Rings mentioned on the McLeod ToB is default when you buy it. Hereafter it is intended that you make measurements and find the right combination of those Rings for your specific Clutch. That was at least the case when I bought my McLeod Clutch "KIT" in 2013 from Panteraperformance. The Rings are all in different thickness hence they can be combined in quite a few combinations. That way you can ensure adequate play between the ToB and the Preasure Plate. It requires that the measurements and conclusive combination of Rings are made BEFORE the Transaxle is put back On the Engine again. If you did not remove at least one of the default Rings it is likely that your ToB is constantly pressing on the Pressure Plate which is BAD BAD BAD on a Pantera!

Forgive me webbers but it makes me confused why you have so much troubble with your Clutch. You have in a few Years started HALF A DOZEN NEW THREADS all about your Clutch problems? Check back with some of those Threads and also check the Links provided by other Posters they explain exactly and very detailed how to do the Job and you might actually find exactly the info you are looking for. I encourage you to strictly follow those descriptions and do your self a favour and skip shortcuts i.e. not using all new/good (and Pantera specific) Parts.

Also if you do a manual search in the Forum there is really a lot of valid info on Clutch related stuff.
