OK guys i need some help and suggestions.. im the original owner, my car is 94 z-28 with 6speed t-56 the car has 340,000 km on it yeah i know high mileage car....so heres the deal...My clutch release bearing went on me and destroyed the master cylinder along with it..so i bought a clutch kit and had my mechanic put it in..but now im having a serious issue with the car wanting to get in gear....i have to almost force it into 1rst gear at a red light...and its almost impossible to get it into reverse gear....evan while im driving and i go to switch gears the car doesnt want to switch gears..its like somethings blocking the stick shift from getting into that next gear....but i did notice i have to almost drive it like a Tractor trailer and match the rpms with gears...when i go to downshift i have to blip the throttle in order for it to slide into that lower gear...Im taking it theres something going on my t-56 now??? or could it be the new clutch????

 

Unless you've done a major engine swap, you have an LT1, and should be posting on LT1 Based Engine Tech. Let me know if you want this moved there.

Not sure how the T/O bearing would damage the master cylinder..... do you mean slave cylinder?

 

Sounds like the master/ slave have air in the system

 

it could also be the clutch plates being mounted wrong, and the clutch never fully disengages. try putting the car on a level surface, putting the transmission in 1st, pushing the clutch in, and raise the revs a bit. see if the car moves.

 

I'm moving this to drivetrain.

 

yes i ment the slave cylinder my bad

 

and the master and slave comes as a sealed unit, from GM...you cant bleed it all thats what sucks with the LT1

 

sorry moderators i thought i had this posted in the right category, just move it to the proper section please and thank you sorry for the disturbance
