clutch help please !!!!!!!!!!!

mark97ta — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:57:52 GMT

i have a 98 camaro with a t56, the car has been getting harder to get into gear (all). the clutch pedal engages about an inch off the floor as well. when i run the car and (try) to shift at higher rpm's i have a greater difficulty shifting and when i depress the clutch pedal it noise dives and does not fully disengage until i forcefully pull it into nuetral :-( The fluid level has not droped any and is not very cloudy or dark, dirty looking either. I bought the car a year ago and they told me that the clutch and slave cylinder had been replaced, i had to pull the trans to fix an oil leak and i could confirm that it was all brand new and worked great, i have since put about 30,000 miles of very easy highway miles on the car with a few power shiftes into second, no clutch drops or massive burnouts, does this soound like i need to replace the clutch or maybe get a tick amc and adjust the pedal out some more ??????????

Interesting issue..

The other night my T56 developed a wierd issue with 5th Gear.

At first it wouldn't engage, then I got it to go in messing with it. Now every time I go into 5th from any gear it will go in smooth..EXCEPT from 6th..it blocks me out. From there it will go in when you lift the clutch up, and even then it engages smooth. Trust me I'm baffled..lol

I can see it possibly being something caught on the Synchro..I say that cause if you think about it when you come into 5th from anything before it the internals are spinning faster than that 5th and they mesh fine. From 6th to 5th it will have to make the 5th Gear spin up, and it's blocking it out instead.

The Synchro is the only thing that makes sense to me..maybe something in there got stuck on it and it's not catching that 5th Gear until some pressure gets put on it.

It's not grinding or has any resistance at all once it slides in..it's either a total block out or right in.

4 speed LQ9

nickey6 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:54:06 GMT

Hey there, I want to put a super T10 behind a 02 esclade LQ9 that I have . I would rather have a T56, but I already have this 4 speed set up along with a center force 11inch clutch and a Lakewood scatter shield bellhousing for gen 1 small block. I've read that I may be able to use the bellhousing and I would like to use my clutch, my question is does any one know if this will work and is there a flywheel availible out there to make this work also I will need a pilot bearing. My project is a 56 chevy 210. Thanks for your help. Nick

How to hold Flywheel when torqueing

SWEET98SS — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:59:27 GMT

How do you guys hold the flywheel when torqueing it. Do you put a another wrench on pulley end of the crank? I do not have my starter on right now so I cant put something in the teeth.

Ok fellas I'm swaping from a pos 4l60. I swapped the wiring harness peddals everything that I was supposed to. But my brakes are stiff. I have to hold back on the steering wheel and bare down on my peddal. I don't understand the clutch and everything works great. Just the freakin breaks if you got any info it would help out a lot. Thanks

T56 behind a Supra motor

TransAm — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:05:41 GMT

Currently I am running a 2jz in a 3100lb car (240sx) with a 5 speed from a 91 Turbo Supra. Im rebuilding for 900hp/750tq and I cant get the supra 6 speed gearbox without dropping 4k on just the trans.

So I am looking into the t56 and I wanted to know if it will hold this kind of power while shifting at 9000 rpms? not sure if the car being this light helps at all? on a 2jz the motor wouldnt see that kind of Tq till around 6k also don't know if that makes a difference.

Pics RE: HELP! New Slave, MC, Pilot Bearing, and Clutch Disc, STILL Problems

Mike Bell — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:20:05 GMT

Ok. Got the tranny out. What do you guys see? Anything obvious that would keep it from going into gear (1st and reverse) easily or clutch to release at the top? I'm deperate here!

T-56 ... 3rd gear Spits Out !!

Reaperchild — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:41:32 GMT

I just got my t-56 rebuild with every thing from thegearbox.org ... BRONZE PADS IN EACH GEAR ..... 3-4TH FORK NEW WITH BRONZE PADS .... some bronze bushing ..... stilll AFTER THE REBUILD 3rd gear spits the gear out on low RPM's & on Max RPMs .... otherwise shifting from 2-3 should be getting the gear to N then leave the clutch & then hit the clutch to switch to 3rd <..... this way the gear would drop smoothly to 3rd=)........... else shifting from2-3 will leave a scar on my hand !!!!!

Really stupid question. Changing clutch fluid.

LS1vazquez — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:40:17 GMT

I assume if I want to change my clutch fluid, it would involve just simply bleeding out all the old fluid via the bleeder screw from the slave cylinder and dumping the new fluid into the resevoir... correct?

shifter cup + epoxy?

SS101 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:55:07 GMT

I know that you're supposed to use epoxy to secure the plastic shifter cup (that little thimble looking deal that goes between the shifter and transmission), but do you need to epoxy the bronze ones?

What clutch do you recommend????

TransAm2002 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:08:09 GMT

Looking into a clutch that will hold 800 RWHP and 900 RWTQ. It is a N20 car and street/strip car, but need something that can take a beating. Looking at RPS Twin Carbon or Textrailia Exo. How is the pedal feel on these clutches? What other clutches do you all have in mind? Thanks for any help.
