84 Clutch Slave alternatives?dregsz 10-01-2003, 05:39 AM Hi All, I've never been happy with the clutch slave on my Z, I've always considered it a weak link. Does anyone know of aftermarket slaves that work well and bolt up in the stock format? Thanks Z28SORR 10-01-2003, 01:28 PM Just curious. Why are you unhappy and why do you think it's a weak link? My has been working fine since 84. dregsz 10-01-2003, 01:51 PM I consider it a weak link because of the hard plastic line that connects it to the master, because it runs very close to the headers, and even though I have it wrapped in fuel line and heat tape, I wouldn't ever be surprized if it lats go, and because it barely slowly, and lazily disengages the clutch making for very slow, hard shifts in a 7500 rpm, 550 hp road racing motor. That's why anyone have a suggestion for a different one? Irocvette355 10-01-2003, 03:05 PM I think you can take the slave cylinder assemblies off of the fourth gens, (at least 94-97) Im pretty sure they are braided steel lines instead of plastic. TheGreatJ 10-01-2003, 07:43 PM A '93-'97 T-56 hydro setup will bolt right in and has a steel braided line, but the line is also about 10" longer than the plastic 3rd gen one. '98+ T-56 hydros are totally different and won't even come close to working. I believe all 4th gen T-5 hydros will work, but don't quote me on that. | ||
