parts in play. 5.7 Vortec, Marks bellhousing adapter, stock GM flywheel, centerforce clutch and pressure plate, toyota H55 5 speed manual transmission, 1986 FJ60, stock transfer case.
Issue...getting the marks adapter setup and adjusted properly. I don't have my paper copy of the instructions (i asked AA to email them to me) from our original install..anyway. I recall that there is a large nut and locking tab or ring and you have to setup the throw out bearing correctly. I'm also using FJ60 clutch arm, FJ60 slave with adjustable rod.
Is there any magic to the Mark's setup from those who have done this before? We kind of flew by the seat of our pants when we did the engine swap and so here we are.
Issue that led me to this..is that I starting having problems with appears to be clutch slipping... going back in and in process of tear down of the marks adatper to see if we can dtermine the issue. Got new clutch and pressure plate and new throwout bearing... want to make sure we get the adjutment of the bellhousing adapter right or at least we well verify that we were in the ballpark.
Truck has run fine for some time... only recently exhibited issues with clutch slippage. And this only became apparent after another shop adjusted the clutch pedal engagemet? Anyway I want to get it right as its a big pain in the @$$ to pull trans and everything to go back in there.
