Hello,

I have swapped T-56 it to 1987 camro form LT1 Camaro, new clutch kit (part RAM-98516HD), clutch fork (oryginal GM). Pedals and clutch master cylinder are form 3rg gen T5 trans, slave cylinder is LT1 T56.
Now problem is that when clutch pedal is presed clutch fork touches pressure plate and grind it, any idea why and how to solve it ??

Best regards

 

The clutch fork rides in a throwout bearing (TOB) and pulls away from the pressure plate (PP) when the pedal is pressed. How is your fork pushing towards the PP to make it grind? Does it grind when the pedal is first pushed, or only at full travel?

 

it grinds only at full travel (pedal the metal possition)

best regards

 

Sounds like your over extending the TOB into the front of the trans. You can try spacing back the slave (washers between slave and bellhousing spacer), or you may have to put a pedal stop on your clutch pedal.

Do you have access to a T56 master? The T5 master may be over-extending the T56 slave.

 

my car was 700r4 auto, i,m thinking of this mod instead of washers.





mentioned in these treads (found them just minutes ago) butnot sure if they are about my problem

i had a similiar problem i cut the rod on the end of the slave abit an rewelded it back together mine wasn't releasing all the way and the clutch would hit the pressure plate too that solved my problem

 

i,m planning to use screw to limit the travel of the pedal and avoid cutting the rod

best regards

 

i had this same problem when i installed a new clutch on my t56. with the pedal to the floor it would grind. but no problems going into gear or anything. so i was careful driving around not to floor the clutch and after breaking the clutch in the problem went away.

 

well i cannot afford to do it your way as my car is strip/street racer

best regards

 

doh i forgot to share about this as i had lots on my head last 30 days, i found a reason ot my problem, the screw that holds clutch fork was unscrewing it self because of vibrations, after screwing it with bolt glue problem disappeared

best regards
