Dear 348/409ers,
Although my fresh 409 sounds terrific, a clutch problem is keeping my '63 Biscayne off the road. During the rebuild, I installed a new Centerforce 10.5-inch clutch (see attached photo) onto a refaced stock flywheel, driving a Borg Warner T10 4-speed tranny (overhauled by Kajun Jon Bergeron). When I use the LONG throwout bearing (recommended by the guys at Show Cars), the clutch slips so severely that I can barely creep down the street. When I use the SHORT throwout bearing (recommended by the tech advisor at Centerforce), I cannot disengage the clutch and shift into gear, even after maximum clutch pedal adjustment. Does anyone have advice that can get me out of CLUTCH HELL!
