quicktime bellhousing.

who has used one of these scattershields and what did you have to do to make the linkage work properly. Did you need to get an adjustable clutch fork pivot ball? Adjustable thrwout bearing? Or both?

 

[63409impala]

Bueller? Bueller?

 

[Ishiftem]

What issue are you having?

 

[63409impala]

I'm almost out of adjustment and still have 3 to 4 inches to go before pedal is all the way up

Where is the release bearing on the bearing retainer?
Do you have a short release bearing?

 

[63409impala]

I had whatever one that was with the new centerforce clutch that was in the car when we got it. Pressure plate was like new. Got a new disc for a 26 spline input, and also bought a mcleod billet steel flywheel

Was the QuickTime shield on the car too? What other components did you change in the clutch setup? Needing 3-4 inches is not an adjustment, it’s likely a wrong part. Maybe the fork shape/bends are wrong for the QuickTime , if it is new to your setup.

I have a QuickTime in my 62 and everything fit. You likely have too short of a throw out bearing. I seem to remember measuring mine and getting one.

Weird, something has changed. Bellhousing depth is pretty standard for the most part or you’d have pilot bushing engagement issues. I have a QuickTime and used all stock linkage. I did have to change TO bearing length when I went from diaphragm to lever clutch.

 

[63409impala]

Now, just by chance, what would happen say the clutch fork popped off the pivot ball

 

[DonSSDD]

If that happened, you should be able to tell by disconnecting the clutch rod or are you saying you found the problem?

 

[63409impala]

I havent found anything yet. Going to pull the trans back out today

 

[Skip FIx]

They do make adjustable balls to get the correct angle for the fork.

 

[63409impala]

Figured it out. Need a taller throwout bearing and an adjustable ball. The quicktime bell is 1.5 inches taller than a factory bell, plus add in the thickness of the block plate. Not to mention that the ball height on the quicktime is 3/8 inch shorter too.

 

[Ishiftem]

How will that affect your shifter location and crossmember? Seems like nothing is simple.

 

[63409impala]

You mean how will that effect my throwout bearing and clutch adjustment?

 

[Ishiftem]

If it’s taller by 1.5 inches it will move everything back 1.5 inches.

 

[La Hot Rods]

Sounds like an extended pilot bearing will be needed also.

 

[63409impala]

See above......

Will the input shaft fully engage the clutch disc splines?
