Congrats Jeremy! Glad you finally got it straight. How are the second gear pulls now?

Unfortunately I was unable to get on the car or get into boost yet, looks like my frps is bad, I was only getting 10-20psi of fuel pressure, just enough to go part throttle and cruise.

Hmmm...and Luke is having his 410's removed soon for his turbo....guess Eddie is going to be making some $$$.

Yeah I already mentioned to Luke that I am interested in his 4.10s, too bad he already has the 3.55s to go back in, then we could just do a rear swap lol

Okay so the rst I got from JPC does have a part number on the fingers. Just couldnt see it in the picture i took at night when i got it.

6912-00?

 

[gil_t2]

Mcleod web site doesn't list a -00, are you sure it is not 03?

 

[JeremyH]

Yup, I couldnt find the part number either. Sure enough it says -00

 

[JeremyH]

Here is a shot of the fidanza and mcleod steel flywheels side by side the dimensions are identical.

 

[gil_t2]

I realy like Mcleod, but this part number crap is a bit much.

 

[JeremyH]

Any thoughts? At least are the first numbers 6912 correct for use with mcleod flywheel.

 

[one eyed willy]

mine is a 6913, on a mcleod flywheel...my floater ring is no where near as big as yours.

i also stumbled accross soemthing somewhere about how the top and bottom discs where coming from the manufacturer with incorrect specs.

 

[gil_t2]

6912 is for Mcleod flywheel, 6913 is for STOCK flywheel (small dia ) not for s197

After 21 pages of posts, what was the outcome?

Is the McLeod clutch issue fix still a mystery? Is it a simple shim up the throw-out bearing/slave or is it more involved?

You can add me to the list of McLeod RST owners with shifting issues.
Just wondering what the fix is.

No one has contributed to this thread for almost a month...

 

[JeremyH]

My fix was an act clutch. I didnt have shifting issues the clutch just wouldnt disengage. The rst is at mcleod and im waiting to hear back from Justin on what mcleod has to say.

 

[AutoXRacer]

I was thinking about the same exact fix... Twin disc or single? I'm thinking of a single.

Please let us know what McLeod comes back with...

I just hate to think about tossing a $1,200 clutch. sigh

Are you going to be doing the work yourself? If you are and don't mind the work I would take it apart and try a 30 dollar shim. Worst cause you drank alot of beer and wasted a weekend. Are you on a 3650 or 6060?

 

[AutoXRacer]

If I was going to do it myself, I would have tried the shim fix already!! But I have to take it to a dealers/shop since I don't have a garage.

Whats a 3650 or 6060...?

I'm on the stock 5 spd.

I'm on the stock 5 spd.

The 3650 is the factory 5 speed on GT's and 6060 is the 6 speed from the GT500's.

 

[chad05gt]

you could have used single disc clutch...
