Adjusting 1400 series bearing

McLeod Racing's own Fred Taylor talks about how to determine your "A" dimension and how to adjust for the proper clearance when using a 1400 series slip on bearing.

You need to make many many more videos like this for other customers. Thank you McLeod

[@nexdream1]

This is exactly what i needed! Thank you so much!!

[@3500camarz]

Excellent video tutorial!

[@amil2017]

you did not subtract the thickness of the straight edge on both A & B measurements,

[@santinocastillo8137]

Can you make a video explaining what to do if the throw the bearing is fully extended, and is more than the clutch fingers need to disengage the clutch. and what do to stop it from overthrowing the fingers, that cause the prematurely wearing the parts.

[@McLeodRacingClutches]

Hey Santino! Give us a call 714-630-2764 and we can help out. And thank you for the suggestion!

[@anthonyi602]

Do one on an MT82 transmission that would be helpful as well

[@jarrettwininger1791]

With my tr6060 to LS1 I've got over an inch air gap and that's with the included spacer. Am I missing something?

[@McLeodRacingClutches]

Sometimes you need an additional spacer to make up the gap. It is ok to stack two spacers, part number 1439.

Hello there can you please tell me what stops the slip on bearing from spinning??

[@McLeodRacingClutches]

It has a constant running bearing on the front of it. If you have anymore questions, give us a call at 714.630.2764. Thanks!

[@jeffchan9176]

That does not answer the question. From what I can see the hydraulic lines will prevent the body from spinning.

[@black33beard1]

​@@jeffchan9176That seems like a lot of constant torque on those two lines.

[@jeffchan9176]

@@black33beard1 I used this kit on a T56 Mustang. There is not alot of torque since the only force the lines will see are just from the drag of the bearing. Against all advice from McCleod. I used a small section of All Round Flexible Pipe Hanger to stop the drag from pulling the lines. It was flexible to not change any alignment of the non moving part of the body and if it ever broke, it would be no worse than nothing. After install. I witnessed the body to be totally stationary and had no regret about securing it.

awesome

[@graysonholiday1582]

The mt82 does not have a back face of the bell housing to measure to the teeth so how would you get the a dimension? I’m one of the idiots that does not understand the instructions 😂

[@McLeodRacingClutches]

Hey there! Give our tech line a call and we can get you the measurement! 714-630-2764.

[@jeffchan9176]

You adjust forward to reach the fingers and you run out of thread, now what?

[@McLeodRacingClutches]

Then you will need a spacer or a taller bearing. If you have any more questions, please call us! 714-630-2764.

[@jeffchan9176]

Why was this spacer or taller bearing not included in the kit MCL-327?

[@McLeodRacingClutches]

Normally the customer does not need the spacer with that application.

[@geerbangr]

Dude says 200 thou, mcsplode says 100 thou clearance. What about the additional thickness of your straight edge? Zero stock in this guys video.
