i have a aftermarket T56 in my 86 camaro. I am having a problem with the clutch pedal. One of my friends was telling me that i may need to use an adjustable T.O bearing or shim the bearing. Has anyone needed to do this that is running the aftermarket tranny. I am using all stock 3rd gen pedals and master along with lakewood scattershield and the adapter plate that bolts to it. i heard that using the plate brings the T.O out to far and needs to be adjusted closer to engage the pressure plate. Any feedback would be great. thanks

 

is the clutch engage 2 far out or in. i heard about problems with the 3rd gen pedals and the t56

 

i didn't check the distance of the TO bearing when i installed it. a friend told me that might be my issue that i am having. i also have some play in the pedal itself so i just ordered new bushings for the pedal so i will see if that helps it out or not.

 

what problem are you exactly having? not going into gear, grinding, ect ?

 

Might be your pivot stud, when I went to a Centerforce clutch in my vette it was horrible until it was pointed out to me there was an orange peice of paper outlining the proper length of the stud, I bought an adj stud and helped a ton. Still not totaly happy with the clutch but it def engages way better after changing out the stud.

 

the problem that i am having is when the clutch pedal is engaged i only have about a 1/2 of travel in the pedal before the clutch is fully disengaged. i am running a mcleod clutch using the t5 set up.
