hey guys, I need a little help here. I've got a 90 model gta I'm doing a 6 speed swap into and I can't seem to find the t stud I need. I bought a new clutch fork and bolt from the dealer but they can't seem to get the t stud or pivot that the fork rides on. The counter man says the parts I have are all that's listed. Can anybody help me? The tranny by the way is a 95 so that's what year I got the fork for. Also I have a set of pedals from an 89 gta and the hydraulics as well. My understanding is that the pedals will work but the hydraulic line will be to short. Can I simply replace the line with a custom high pressure line? I have a local place that makes lines up to 20000 psi. I'd sure appreciate any help I can get

 

You should be able to get replacement parts from D+D or Keisler.

Not clear what "hydraulics" you bought...... from a 95 LT1 or from an 89 GTA??

 

if you are trying to run the gta master and the 95 lt1 slave cyl...and get your line made etc. How you going to bleed it?

 

thanks for the replys guys. I finally found a place online called www.autogear.net which had the pivot for $0.51 and a clutch fork for $30.66. I wish I saw these guys day before yesterday becuase the dealer charged me a$104.00 for the fork. I got the hydraulics out of a 88 camaro. I can have a custom line made no priblem but what about bleeding? Is there no bleed screw on that year? I bought them online so I haven't seen them yet.

 

I forgot to add I'll be using the complete 3rd gen hydraulic system except for a new line so bleeding shouldn't be a problem shouldn't be a problem should it?

 

Is the slave cylinder from an 88 Camaro going to work with the unique "pullback" design of the LT1 clutch?

 

i'm not sure...it may, but i don't think they have a bleeder

 

Well now, you guys may have me stumped there. I've been reading up both on this site and thirdgen .org and I think the thirdgen slave should work. I'll know for sure in a couple of days. I've also been told that that to bleed the slave there is an allen screw to open or you can point the rod at the ground and slowly pump the air out of the slave and into the master resevoir, bleeding air out that way.

 

Be sure to add loctite to the threads of the hold down bolt for the T stud; mine worked it's way loose over time

 

if it does have the allen screw then great you can bleed it that way....it won't work by pumping the slave b/c air can't get past the piston in the master....just wait to see what you get, its a pretty popular swap
