[QUOTE="Helomech74, post: 6715505, member: 66460"] This is actually incorrect. You want the TOB to make contact at all times. You want it to have enough pressure against the pressure plate fingers so that it spins with the pressure plate, but not so much that the clutch is disengaging. Like I stated earlier, if you set the TOB off the Pressure plate, or with little pressure it will skip across the pressure plate fingers causing friction, and thus heat. This is what kills the TOB, not the constant contact. Obviously if the TOB is not engaging the pressure plate fingers at all, then there won't be any heat issues, but you get the issue of the pedal slop which is why the LDC kit was created. If people would just adjust the TOB as it is supposed to be, the LDC kit would never even need to be used. Once I learned this little bit of info about the 79-04 TOB's, I adjusted the cable and TOB, removed the LDC kit, and never had another issue with TOB squeaks, pedal slop, clutch engagement or anything. Neither have any of my customers to my knowledge as well. Obviously to set it up like this, you would need a firewall adjuster and quadrant. [/QUOTE]
