I thought they came with them. I have two sets of four blocks. One a bit taller than the other.

A few updates;
For about a year, the vehicle started making a metallic, ticking noise. It became more preeminent when the vehicle was warmed up, and would only go away whenever applying little to full pressure to the clutch pedal.

I greased everything that I could, did two fluid replacements, nothing changed. Until finally I caved in about the possibility that it might be my throwout bearing (TOB).


So I got all my parts together, and went to work. Mind you this was the very first time I took on a more advanced repair by myself. There were a couple of freak moments, but in the end, after countless thread updates and YouTube videos, the repair was finished. Thread here https://www.ft86club.com/forums/show...28#post3579028


I took the opportunity to change fluids and went with AMSOIL. Probably the best decision I've made regarding Engine, Transmission, and Differential fluids. Everything feels so silky smooth and the car feels so much different. Highly recommend to make the switch.



New parts installed are:
Verus Engineering Clutch Fork and Pivot

Revised TOB (OEM)
Schaeffler Slave Cylinder

Whiteline Transmission Insert

I switched over to asmoil as well just in the transmission at the moment. Like you I found it to be very smooth

Hopefully you replaced bearing retainer when you replaced the TOB.

I thought it needed to be replaced but it was in pristine condition. I think I caught the TOB way before it would’ve caused any significant damage.

So… the shop that I brought the car to get the alignment outright denied to do the work because of their lift? Fearing it would bottom out.

That happens. I would call ahead and ask if they handle lowered cars.
