I don't think its possible but working at 1am isn't the best idea with cars. Can the stock t-5 shifter go on backwards, and if so how would it act?

Its hard to get into gear but I know the throwout bearing was install with the clips on the inside of the bearing. It has a new clutch fork, spec stage 2: clutch, pressure plate, TO bearing, and pilot bearing. I have bleed the LT1 hydraulics multiple times. Please help me out before I try some bad ideas or atleast leave some responses.

 

Never tried , I gess it could but it would probley be in gear in the nuturel possition and you would be punching the radio with it mounted backward's good luck and get some sleep .

 

Three nights in a row working on cars til 3 am really wears a person out. Does it matter if I put the bellhousing on and then the case? Because I couldn't find a way to do the entire assembly together.

I doubt the shifter could be put on wrong, but everything else seems to be lined up right.

 

Shouldn't. Thats the way I have always done it.

Don't think the shifter can go on backwards either. Has a very different offset from front to back.

Measure how much travel the hyd. moves the fork. There is a min measurement but I can't rembember what it is. Perhaps some one else can chime in.

Hopefully you don't have a defective pressure plate.

Get that measurement first.

 

I'm going to measure the amount of movement tomorrow. If it equals or is more than the 5/8 that is recommended on this sight, I'm going to take it to a transmission shop.

I wish there was a diagnostic flow chart for these transmissions.

 

maybe the manual has some hints?

Maybe this information will help.

When I try to put in gear and am already in motion, I have to wait for the shifter to slide into gear. Its like push in clutch, pull towards second, wait, wait, and now slides in second, release clutch.

I did not get to measuring the hydraulic movement yet, maybe tomorrow night.

*EDIT* This site is pretty sweet. It doesn't solve my problem but it does have a lot of information.

 

I went down to the gm dealership and exchanged my hydraulic assembly. Its not as bad, but shifting into first is still a muscle builder. Maybe I could add a spacer to the end of the slave? Or I could take it down and put it back together again .
