So I put an entire new McLeod Clutch system in my car. Including a new McLeod flywheel, pilot bearing which I used the Ford Racing roller pilot bearing instead of the McLeod solid pilot bearing because I didn't realize the clutch kit came with with a new pilot bearing. The Ford one looked nicer anyways with the rollers on it instead of a solid bearing. Also bought the McLeod Hydraulic TOB. The McLeod said it was a direct OEM replacement and that no shims were needed. Fast forward not even 2 weeks later and the clutch lost all pressure and brake fluid is pouring out of the bottom of the bell housing. Assuming that the TOB when out. I've had a few people tell me that it was supposed to be measured and shimmed. McLeod said no shims needed. I don't remember my stock TOB having shims but I threw it away so now I have no idea if it was or wasn't. It was the stock TOB that I replaced on a stock 06 GT Transmission. I replaced the TOB because I figure while I was replacing my clutch and had my trans out I might as well replace the rest of it since my car had 128k and it was all original.
Now I'm going to buy a stock TOB and am worried with all the new McLeod clutch stuff that I put in my car the stock TOB will need to be shimmed but I have no clue how to do this and can't find any YouTube videos to walk me through measuring it to know if the stock slave will need to be shimmed. I don't want to pull my trans again to replace TOB again in another 3 weeks. Any help on how to measure this to make sure it's right this time. Pictures or video if possible as that's the way I learn best. Thanks.
