Sorry Mgtacar1, I don't have that, my manual calls it a cluster gear lol, but here's a pix for anyone else that can help:

Just thought of a easier solution... I can raise the engine and tranny! I'm gonna try this

They are Rapido 28.5mm, I guess going stock would only gain a little over 1 mm additional clearance.
I'd hate to grind into the new bellhousing, but an idea, I think the bellhousing wall thickness is .125" or a bit less.

Got a picture of it? I have some T9 parts "laying" around, maybe there's one in there.

I have another issue, the QuickTime bellhousing contacts the stabilizer bar, I was hoping once tranny angle was adjusted it'd be ok, but no, the bellhousing is not putting much pressure on the stabilizer. I'm certain I can add a spacer behind the stabilizer U brackets, likely .125" would be suf...

Another setback, I just discovered today that a Hays 82-103 hydraulic throwout bearing is not compatible with a Spec SF481 clutch
The Hays bearing has a sleeve that goes past the pressure plate fingers and it can't on the Spec.
Anyone need a Hays 82-103, hit me up.

looking good!

TKX with V8 Quicktime bellhousing, there's ample room for a cable driven clutch, I wanted a push type external hydraulic slave... but it will not fit

Gotta take it back apart again, I'll be using a hydraulic throwout bearing.

Adding pictures while waiting on more parts :P Canfield adapter plate https://simflame.com/temp/adapterplate.jpg https://simflame.com/temp/flywheel.jpg Rapido pilot bushing. https://simflame.com/temp/pilotbearing.jpg Had to use .021 offset pins to get within spec required by Tremec. https://simflame...

Still have this? PM sent

I haven't been able to find any information on a v8 clutch in a xr, so I thought I'd post some. Checking some clearances for a V8 clutch setup, I ordered the quicktime bell housing mainly because it is smaller than the aluminum ones, so I thought it might fit without modifications. I'm testing thing...

Seem like nice guys, but they just couldn't complete my order so after about 4 months of waiting I filled a complaint through PayPal and Anembo refunded my money.

Take pictures during your V8 swap and post in the project section.

I'm running Pyropete's crank trigger setup, haven't had any issues.

Why do you need a hydraulic clutch slave cylinder for this? Or just want it that way? I have a hydraulic clutch setup and love it! I'm running the TurboCoupe hydraulic bell housing. Side note: Not sure I'd trust a hydraulic throw out bearing, I've heard some bad things, I'm leaning towards an exter...
