Note: This kit will not work
on 1994 and newer T5's
from a 2.2L 4cyl. 1993
applications need to verify
the T5 bolt pattern.

NOTE:

This bellhousing should be used with our 11" pressure plate, P/N 716102-P (CF361877) and 11" clutch disc, P/N 716102.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

This bellhousing is designed for a 11" flywheel assembly and uses an
internal release bearing supplied by Mcleod Industries. You must read
both this instruction sheet and Mcleod's instructions fully. In order to
work properly with the internal release bearing, a unique pressure plate
and clutch disc are also required. These parts are sold separately under
the part numbers listed above. To the best of our knowledge, these
items will provide the proper internal stack height of clutch components
inside our new bellhousing.

1. The front bearing collar must be shortened 1". Remove bearing
collar, cut, remove any burs, apply sealant and re-install. Refer to
the drawing on the last page, for a length of the shortened collar.

2. Adjust internal release bearing. Based on our measurements and trial
installation we have included this dimension to help speed the
installation. For specifics in how we determined this dimension
please refer to the McLeod instructions. This dimension is 2.100"
in as shown in the photo to the right. The aluminum collar in the rear
of the release bearing is threaded, to provide length adjustment.

SPECIAL NOTE: The components packaged in this kit have been assembled and machined for specific type of conversions. Modifications to any of the components
will void any possible warranty or return privileges. If you do not fully understand modifications or changes that will be required to complete your conversion, we strongly
recommend that you contact our sales department for more information. This instruction sheet is only to be used for the assembly of Advance Adapter components.
We recommend that a service manual pertaining to your vehicle be obtained for specific torque values, wiring diagrams and other related equipment. These manuals are
normally available at automotive dealerships and parts stores.

3. Bolt transmission to the Advance Adapters bellhousing.

4. Cut through 1 side of the grommets so they can be installed over the release
bearing hose. Slide bracket over hoses as seen in the photo, and push
grommets into bracket. Make sure that you orient the internal release
bearing so that the bleeder hose is on the top.

5. Push the bearing assembly over the bearing retainer until adjusting nut
against bearing collar face. Use the supplied bolt and blue
Loctite to fasten the hose bracket to the bellhousing.

6. Install flywheel, pilot bearing, and clutch assembly. Refer to a
service manual as needed.

6. Install transmission / bellhousing assembly into vehicle.

7. Check clearance between the front face of the release
bearing and fingers of pressure plate. A feeler gage set
works well for this. Mcleod specifies a minimum of .100" and
a maximum of .300". If your clearance does not fall within this
window, do not continue! Remove transmission and adjust
release bearing as needed.

8. Once proper clearance has been established, install the
rubber boot over the release bearing hoses and into the side
of the bellhousing.

9. The release bearing will need to be plumbed to the master
cylinder. Refer to the Mcleod instructions for adjustment of
the clutch pedal and for bleeding information.
