Subject: Re: 87 vett destroying clutch master cylinders by istter1 on 2012/4/22 22:45:07 It was occuring way before I owned it. Replaced transmission because overdrive went out. Common problem with 3+4. Parts hard to get. Went with the Keisler great transmission. Before I owned this car (Previous owner had everything that was serviced in a file he gave me) several different transmission shops have been trying to find out the problem for over 15 years. When we replace parts the entire system is replaced and a new line is used (made up at local shop) The guys that I am working with are topnotch mechanics in busness for over 30 years. John dirt track race and build from scratch top notch cars. Quote: Just got a call from John down at the garage. They replaced the Master and slave both. While bleeding the system with new fluid ten pumps and the fluid turned dark black. Quote: Thei was when we suspected the push rod. ordered an origional rod from NY it was a half 1/2" shorter and a smaller diamenter then what comes standard replacement slave. It was too short so we built it up in legnth so we could get the pedal off the floor. So since the first slaves were built for 87s something or unlisted problem hase come up to warrent this change in rod legnth and diamenter? We did find out that the later bores were chromed on the interior because of some type of interior condition. This is during the period when GM was putting the rubber in backward and they (slaves were breaking down). We have been given a lot of help from this site and used advice like you are giving now. Thats is where we went into checking the heat issue. The lines and slave are exposed to a lot of heat as in racing. Just covring our butt. The full thread that was on here for about a year we took off after Andy reminded me about some information about Craigs List and EBAY theavies that I put on here that were arrested with help and advice given to me here. (Andy over 30 people were arrested or deported. I forgot to mention that) On that note I say again Andy thanks for the help on the last few fixes and the major ones that occur with C4. Love all the knowledge I get here. I want to also thank you for your advice 92Polo. That is what is cool about this site.  |
