Hi everyone,

We're in the middle of our engine / transmission assembly. Gen 3 Coyote, standard Ford M-7560-T46 clutch kit, TKX transmission.

2 questions: first about torque specs - the Ford installation instructions for this clutch say to torque the pressure plate bolts to 12-24 ft-lb. FF instructions say to torque to 35 ft-lb.. Which is it? I'll be honest and say we already torqued to 35 so hopefully that's OK.

Second, the clutch instructions also say "the throw-out bearing supplied in the kit must be used. The use of aftermarket replacements may result in a loud squealing noise." Interestingly there is no throw-out bearing in this kit, so it's not clear what Ford is talking about. Instead, we're using the hydaulic throw-out we purchased with our kit from FF, which is the Mcleod 1406-30. Can I anticipate success or a loud squealing noise?

Thanks!
ST
