Well, here i am on the board, since a while, hey all!!

Do they have a better updated clutch fork for the idiotified LT1 clutch system?? What a joke that was/is.

Okay, anyhoo, on to the story, for you avid readers..........

So, I just get done dropping off a computer to a customer. I jump in the car to greet 2 of my friends and tell them "LETS GOOOO" (It was a nice Saturday night. I push in the clutch to start the car and I feel a "POP" vibrate from the pedal into my kneecap. Oh, chit is all that came out of my mouth slowly and quietly. Whats wrong they say?? No clutchy, no goey I say. To ad insult to injury, I started pumping the pedal. I thought it was a blown rubber seal, or locked up seal in the master or slave cylinder. Then, I feel another "POP" and the pedal starts working, sorta, but felt like when you help someone bleed the brakes and they losen the bleeder screw. Hmmm, I see leaking fluid from the slave so I found the broken part, right?

So, I call someone to get us 30 miles away to get us. Not a very comfertable ride home in a work van. Half way and my butt was numb from sitting on the ladder, not to mention my whole arm from steading myelf. Thats when I realized I left my $1,000 TAG Heuer watch (I am not crazy, I just really really liked the watch. Besides I was having a mental laps at the time of purchase.) right in the middle of my console. Not to bad of a thing if it was not in D.C. (heavy megatropolis area). So, I cry a little and sob thinking my watch will be gone as well as my stereo equipment, amps along with a broken window and what not. Hey, stereo with a bonus watch or watch with a bonus stereo, hmm, same difference, Ill take that!!

So, the next day I buy a slave cylinder. I go back to find that you have to take the "master" brake cylinder off, the f***in power booster off to get the u clamp off the clutch master cylinder. What kind of crack *** crap is that?? If I meet the GM tech at my neighbor hood bar, I am gonna choke the hell out of them. Anyways, I put the bottom together, bleed the system and I get nothing for pedal feel. I go under the car, take off the save (thinking it was not aligned) and proceed to take my finger to see where the dent in the clutch fork is so I can align it with the rod. GUESS WHAT FALLS APART!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! The f****in CLUTCH FORK!!!!!!!!!

I hate GM, there a**holes!! Who the hell would make HD part like that out of pot metal!?!?!?!?!? Now I have to take the tranny out to replace it!?!?!? I do not see any way else to do it!?!?!?

Thanks GM, you bunch of jerks, have a nice day, I sure didnt!!!!!

Sorry....

Stuff happens.

Thanks. Yea, sure does. Kinda blew my mind too. Now I know when I go into the tranny to fix it, I will want to replace the clutch and what not. I dont have the money for that.

clutch
pressure plate
throwout bearing
pilot bearing
rear main seal

Does anyone know of a better designed clutch fork to use?

Okay all, I have my answer. I talked to Dal and for a FYI, they only make one clutch fork with no revisions!!



Crazy man, just crazy!!!!!!
