I installed the engine, transmission and driveshaft into my JH for a trial fit today. Now that I have the adapter for my Ford T5 5 speed transmission and the modified driveshaft I needed to install everything in the car to check the fit. I found that I had to modify the mount for the clutch return spring and I had to modify my custom made clutch cable mount. Everything seems to be working fine without any interference issues. I installed the pedal box and hooked up the clutch cable to see if it was going to work and that is where I seem to have an issue. When I depress the pedal it has almost no resistance and doesn't disengage the clutch. There shouldn't be much room between the TO bearing and the pressure plate (1/16th inch), but I can move the clutch fork forward with my bare hands. I took everything apart thinking something came loose and everything was still attached. Open to suggestions.
