72zcar Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Can someone measure the length of the slave rod that goes between the slave and the fork on a stock camaro slave fron 1984 - 1992 please. Or if someone has an extra one It sould be about ~3~ inches long with a ball on each end thanks bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72zcar Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 Anyone? I called the dealer and the rod (even though its just held in by the boot) is not sold separately. Only with the slave.... I made one and it works and shifts fine (raped ape). The clutch releases about 3 inches off the floor. But when the tranny is in neutral it sound like the throwout bearing is spinning or it could just be the tranny making the noise..not sure. When i push the clutch in the sound goes away. I made the rod about 4 inches long Im just wooried that the rod may be too long causing the throwout bearing to spin even when its in neutral.... or is it supposed to spin in neutral ?

mas8230 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I custom made mine as well. I had problems with no engaging with the stock rod, after bleeding for hours. I made a little longer of a rod out of an old head bolt, and it engages and shifts perfect now. However, I DO have a bird chirping throwout bearing in neutral and when the clutch is out when in gear. The ever slightest push of the clutch, and the chirping goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72zcar Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 thanks i finally found a rod at pick your nose, mine measures 4 inches or damm close to it. mas 8230, i too had no pedal after many hour of bleeding..we tried everything.. then i made a rod 3/4 of an inch bigger and it bleed as easy as pie. I then put the stock rod back in and it works great with stock camaro slave and stock camaro master. SO you might try putting the stock rod back in now that you have it bleed and see if the bird chirp goes away....bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Mileski Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 One other thing to try. When your clutch pedal is at rest, in the back position, it sits against an adjustable stop. You can adjust this stop so the pedal comes back even farther. After doing this you need to readjust the rod that goes from the pedal into the back of the clutch master cylinder. After doing this, your clutch pedal now has a longer stroke, meaning more fluid movement, which results in more movement of the clutch fork.
