Let us know how the Advance Auto clutch pack works for ya. I would be too leary of the quality to purcahse that from them for my car.

One thing that I noticed: Your oil cap is silver. is this an aftermarket cap or painted? I really like that! lol

Never noticed about cap it was that way when we got it from police impound !! thanks for looking , ok but heres the deal ,,,, we replaced everything , clutch/prrssre plate throwout/slave /master and we still have problems . i have my buddy with a tranny at the salvage yard so we will probably be changing it out as soon as we go and pullit . I have my tranny guy that can rebuild it i just have not asked him yet . Has anyone rebuilt the synchros in the tranny is it cost efficient or just bang a used unit in ? >>>>>>>>symptoms now>>> good pedal but no action only gear we can take of in is 3 rd if that now its grinding grinding grinding

I have never replaced the synchros in these trannys, however, I can't imagine it being any more expensive than most any other make/model synchros.

we still are not getting pedal , we think the new slave is bad so we are gonna try another this afternoon . I noticed on the cap it said assembled in mexico .

[racetearoffs.com]

we are not getting as much pedal as we would like , we put a nut in front of the throw piston rod of the slave still no pedal ? Wondering if we put clutch disq in backwards ? We blew thru the clutch hose and it seemed fine no leaks and not collapsed . We are getting travel on slave but still no clutch ?

I would recheck the clutch installation.

I would recheck the clutch installation.

And in the process, make sure the clutch fork lever is functioning properly -- the pivot bearing could be bad.

OK the clutch is different !! instead of a 200 mil its a 215 , i am guessing the all wheel drive clutch . The pressure plate is thicker and taller . The old pressure plate and set up was made in great britain . It looks like we have solved it waiting for new clutch to come in . I am taking pictures so will post when we get this straightened out thank you karl

We left the clutch all the way in overnight to see if it would bleed over night nothing . Ok we ordered a OEM clutch from LUKE and its number is a 050-22 so we will receive it tommorow and remove and install it again and see what going on . i have pictures of what we just did but what a waste we are back to square one .
