Not familiar with 50 but if it has the same PP as earlier 35-48 Fords, it is possible the hub for the throwout bearing was damaged. If it was not replaced with the new throwout install, you may have carried over a problem area to the new PP. Make sure the fingers for the new PP touch the face of the throwout bearing and not the front of the hub itself. There seems to be a bunch of PP with fingers that are too long and they do not contact the throwout in the proper location.
