Hello,

I have a T56 Magnum originally setup for the mcleod hydraulic TOB, quicktime bellhousing, and mcleod dual RST twin clutch.

I have considered not using the mcleod HTOB, because I am little worried about these failures people talk about with them. Is this still an issue with the new HTOBs from McLeod?

I then bought a standard mechanical TOB and fork. THe TOB and fork fit in the transmission, however, i cannot get any gap between the TOB and the pressure plate fingers. THis is because the standard Ford racing fork is too tall and pushes the TOB into the fingers.

I have cut down the sides of the ford fork by nearly 50%. This makes the fork thinner and I can then get the TOB clearance I need.

What is the strength of the ford fork? Should I be worried about the fork being to weak now?

Anyone have any thoughts? I am considering going back to the McLeod HTOB, because that fits & clearances fine. I just didnt want to have a known reliabilty issue with the HTOB....However, I dont want a weak fork either.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Thanks
