Gentlemen, I'm betting his pinion point on his pedal is too low Period. "I" built a particular Cobra years ago and have used about every clutch mentioned, including the ones with the little weights (Gad-what a problem they were!)

It was a 460, McLeod clutch and throwout bering. Since the car was first engineered it was never made ready for "Hydraulics". I swear it took two men and two girlfriends to push that clutch in. I too had to get a Hardened shaft to keep from bending the rod. I called McLeod a couple of times raising hell about there clutch and throw out bearing only to find out my pivot point was about thee inches low! Re-engineered the pivot assembly to raise it higher on the clutch pedal and the problem was fixed. (I think Mr. Higgins got me straight on this problem.)
