Anyone using heavy duty clutches and having problems with disengagement? After putting a 3550 into an auto 82 camaro I have replaced the junkyard slave/master cylinder with new oem parts. Even then the clurch won't disengage. It was bled thouroughly and the pressure on the pedal was enough to bend the shaft that pushes the plunger on the master cylinder in. I have the Lakewood adjustable pivot ball and tried every position, vainly trying to make my clutch disengage with no success. I called RAM and spoke to the tech dep. He told me that with the cluth and pp I'm using (3200 lb. borg and beck pp w/ 300 series organic clutch) the stock hydraulics aren't up to the job and recommended a hydraulic to bearing. Before doing this I'm wondering if anyone had the same problem and could point me in the right direction. From what I have read in here the stock equipment appears to be stronger than the hyd to. I've spent hours on the phone with forte's, ram, mceod, howe, no one can give me a satisfactory answer. This car hasn't moved in 3 years because of this. PLEASE HELP !!!

Anything look familiar?

 

Nope-I made sure the spring was in the tabs like in the bottom picture. I'm gonna try talking to someone elso from Ram and see if they still think I need new hydraulics. Anyone got an opipnions on hyd. to bearings vs. a master cylinder and fork?

 

I just called Ram and talked to another tech. He seems pretty sure my problem is in the stock hydraulics not being designed for a borg and beck pp. Guess my next step is a hyd to..
