jeromio Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 So, I'm tryna gather up funds, and the where-withal to direct them towards a T56. So, as part of this effort I am looking around for a clutch set. HolyCrap! $400-500! And this is for the bare bones stocker, not a fancy one. Last clutch kit I bought, for the L28, was $90. Before that was one for a Honda - $100. Jetta - $120 or so. This is really not helping my case. Not exactly something I can sneak in the budget.....

Guest greimann Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Have you ever seen a clutch for a T56? It's wacked! It pulls off instead of pushes like 99% of the other clutches. Some GM insider is going to have to explain why this is so much better to make a weird design like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Okay, well check this out: That's the "hydraulic throwout bearing" formerly known as a slave cylinder. Kinda cool in a way. And yet, another $100. Plus the Master - $200. Kripes. NO way will the Datsun master work with that sucker. Adjustable master is $300. Great. This is not adding up for me financially....

jeromio Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Well, I went ahead and bought a T56. It's a rebuilt unit - I think I got a pretty good deal. Now I have to get the clutch stuff. And sell my auto. I can't believe that the entire auto trans is worth less than a stock clutch setup.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted July 19, 2002 Author Share Posted July 19, 2002 There's a dealership in PA that has a ls1.com GP special - like 25% off (Fred Beans Pontiac). Still gotta spend $500 plus shipping for the clutch, hydraulics, etc. I guess I priced my A4 too low ($450) since I have apparently sold it already - just gotta get it shipped. Almost covers the parts. Gonna be a net of $1200 for the switch to T56. This is happenning very fastly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
