I just retrofitted a s10 with a v8 and a wc T5 manual trans from a early 90's camaro. and I just got my master and slave in today bled them and got them all bolted up, the clutch pedal is so F'ING hard to push in it is not even funny. I bent the pushrod I steped in on it so hard. What is going on? I have a line that is a bit longer than stock but that should not cause any issues should it? It is really hard to push in and is not drivable like it is. I am talking about putting 60-70 lbs of pressure on it with my leg to get it all the way down. It is disengauging the clutch but it is just not right and it is obvious. All the parts are brand new and I have checked all the dumb stuff already. I am using the slave for a camaro and the master from the s10, the v8 s10 guys say there is no complication in using the two form the diffrent makes. I wanted to ask about this here since the trans came fomr one of the cars you guys know so much about. If you have seen a simular issue before please help.

 

come of fellas, help a brother out I have a down vehicle here.

 

The pedal itself is that hard to push?

I'd check for something blocking pushrod travel in the way the pedals etc are installed.

If it still does it, I'd make sure the clutch fork is working / installed as it should be, not to mention if anything might have been accidentally assembled incorrectly ( flywheel / throwout bearing etc )


HTH

 

yeah it is hard as hell, are there some pics of how things should look assembled? I am kind of new at this whole thing and dont know what to look for in assembly problems.
