Twin Disk users, step inside.
Im about to put the trans in, but before I do I need some clarification. I have the twindisc that came with the new master cyl. It came with no literiture at all.
I have heard from some that 0.050 needs to be removed from the pivot ball. the way bruce's car creeps is a testament to this( you also need a hammer to get it into reverse sometimes, or just shut it off) But bruce's is one of the first twin discs and didn't come with the new master.
I have heard from others that the new master alleviates the problem Via a differnt bore size. Since California isn't awake yet, does anyone have a definitive answer for me?

I just used a pivot ball machined .050. Mine works great. It also came with the adjustable master cylinder, but I thought I would try it with just the machined pivot ball and stock master cylinder. Now I have a back up master cylinder when my stock one wears out.

If you purchased the twin recently and got the Mcleod master cylinder with the kit. Then machining .050" from the pivot ball is no longer necessary. This is what Red at Mcleod told me when I got the last two street twins at the first of this year. Both were for LT1 engines.
