Just started yeasterday while criusing around. Coming to a stop, I went to downshift to first and I it was like the clutch never left go. I had to stop, go back to 2nd, then to first again. It did this 2-3 times and now it seems to effect no other gears. Seems fine if I double clutch it, or push the pedal hard to the floor. It is also nearly impossible to get it into reverse unless you jam the shifter hard. I check the eng sensor fuse and it was fine, might be related to this problem, or it might be the reverse lockout solenoid?

I pulled the slave cylinder out and the boot and rod stayed on the fork? I had to pull it all out by hand. I'm not too sure how the LT1 setup is, but my last ride was one assembly (ROD, BOOT, CYLINDER) . I have no loss of fluid, no problem going from gear to gear if I go all the way down hard with the pedal. I put the slave back in and I had my wife pump the pedal with the resevoir cap off and no bubbles at all. The pedal feels fine and firm, and after a quick criuse around the block it seems it is hit or miss with first gear.


I ran all over town trying to track down a slave cylinder, no luck. Am I safe to drive this to work at least until I find a replacement?


Also:
Does anyone know the part numbers for the master/slave assembly for the 97?


** found the part number**
12559912

Just need some insight before I buy the assembly or the slave cylinder and waste the money

 

Well, it made it to work with no problems....... new issue though.



Now she stumbles. Murphy's law eh? I just fixed a cracked edelbrock header, so that may have something to do with it. Wire prob touched the manifold. Luckily the SES light popped up (funny how I see this as lucky )
