Two weeks ago I installed South Bend's 3600 clutch with the upgraded hydros and had a question about adjusting the clutch safety switch part of it. As of right now I have to push the pedal darn near through the floor to get it to start. Where is there an adjustment on this so I don't have to have the clutch down so far?

Also I have noticed an odd noise that sounds like a fire engine siren coming from what I think is the trans/clutch. It only starts making the noise when coasting down in a gear and once I depress the clutch the noise slowly fades away. I know in the past with my car it meant the pilot bearing was going but I don't think after 2 weeks it would be shot.

Thanks for any and all advice.
 
It should have came with a new one. Did you remove the washer on the pivot fork?
 
Yes a new one came with the clutch and yes I took the washer out from behind the pivot ball. It sounds like a squeling throw out too me too or a pilot bearing. With it dying down after I push in the clutch it usually means its a throw out.

I adjusted the clutch to fix my starting problem and made a small spacer to move the "ok to start" sensor forward. It hasn't made any noise since so maybe it was that slight adjustment made a difference not sure yet.
