cyrus Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 How in world do I hook this thing up? Looks like it has no fitting. Do I have to take the trans and engine apart to reach it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeromio Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 I think Mike missed the fact that you've got a 2001 T56. To answer your question, Yes, you must separate the motor and trans. Slave is inside. Buy a McLeod 3/4 master (got mine from Sunnit for something like $30). Modify your slave The drill and tap sizes will depend on the fitting you use. I just used a fitting that I happened to have lying around and then matched it up to a tap and then used the appropriate drill. Woulda been better to have used a longer fitting. I retained the little rubber O ring in there. I updated my page (linked to that pic above) with all this info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 It's really a very screwy design. Lots of the FBody guys have problems with clutch engagement - even on stockers. GM has had to tweak it every year (98, 99, 2000, 01). Normally, In order to actually adjust clutch engagement, you just mess with the setup of the (externally mounted) slave. With this design retardation, you have to pull the trans, remove the entire clutch, get a Press and the appropriate donut shaped steel doodad, and press down on the thing and then adjust these fingers on the clutch. Then put it all back together and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
