T56 Clutch Engagement Verification


Recommended Posts

I have had my transmission out 3 times now and I "think" I've finally figured everything out, but I was hoping to verify and pick your brains... pictures are below

 

I have a 2002 LS1/t56 all stock (tranny wise) installed in my 1975 280z. I had the stock flywheel resurfaced - it measures .79 inches front to back (anyone know what the stock unsurfaced measurement should be?). I'm also using a Wilwood Clutch Master cylinder - specs are located here: http://www.wilwood.c...itemno=260-1304

 

It appears I have 1/16" of an inch between measurement A&B (A being greater than B by 1/16") as per the info at this link: http://www.ls1tech.c...-need-shim.html

 

I'm trying to determine if surfacing the flywheel and using the Wilwood MC will work ok. I want to avoid any clutch engagement issues and also to avoid blowing out the Throw out bearing seal.

 

I purchased the bleeder line and I'm also using a Clutch Masters stage I clutch good to 550 hp (BTW check them out - they have an impeccable reputation and their products are very reasonably priced). My particular clutch is designed to be used with the stock flywheel - they have 2 different versions.

 

For verification purposes, how far into the fingers of the clutch should the TOB ride while the clutch in not engaged? I know that it only takes 1/4" of outward movement to disengage the clutch... I'd like to get a measurement and verify all of these details before putting the tranny back in - for the LAST time!

 

Any insights would be greatly appreciated....

 

Thanks!

I need to verify this measurement but I've included it for informational purposes - maybe it'll help others...
