S-10 2.8 into 84 camaro

Hey everyone, I recently swapped in a 2.8 form an 83 S-10 truck into a 84 camaro. Everything bolted up ok and the engine started up like any other swap that I had done. But when I push the clutch in, the pedal has almost no resistance. It won't go into any gear either. I thought that the slave cylinder was bad so I ordered a new one and it still didn't have any effect. I was wondering what would I need to do to make it work.Put the truck tranny in? I am getting really frustrated and any help would be great.

Try posting this in the V6 forum, more V6 specific knowledgable peeps there. Also try a search in teh tranny forum, might even find your answer there.

Welcome to the boards!!!

Could be the master too. A bad master will cause the clutch petal to have no resistance.

I found out that the slave and master cyl. were fine, but the pivot bolt was so worn that it was letting too much of the slave cyl. to travel. It is up and running now. Time to get started on the 87 T/A
