So my M47 went in my '90 245. I figured why not do a T5 swap. Got the fluid in it tonight and fired up the car to a slight squeaking from the trans. It wasn't bad and went away with light pressure on the clutch pedal.
The big problem comes in when I push the pedal in further. I get a couple of inches of travel without issue, but then I get some nasty grinding. I tried pushing the pedal in a little past where it started and the engine starts to die. Below is my setup. Please help guys. Oh, the pedal is adjusted so I have an 1/8" of freeplay at the fork which is basically maxed out the adjustment on the cable.
WCT5 from a '95 Mustang V6
'93 Mustang V8 input shaft
Trimmed bearing sleeve .68" to match shorter input shaft
Mustang V8 TO bearing
Mustang 4cyl turbo 9" disc
Stock Volvo pressure plate
Stock Volvo dogdish flywheel
M46 clutch fork w/ Kaplhenke blocks
Triangles Unlimited spacer
