Ok, so I swapped a 396 into my 91 and picked up a cheap ls1 t56 that i rebuilt and am installing. I already got the bellhousing conversion and stuff and I have the clutch, flywheel, master slave and hyd throwout bearing, I was wondering if I am in need of anything else. I've never installed something like this before and just wondered if someone had any tips or tricks that would help. Thanks!

 

the air gap from throwout bearing to pressure plate fingers is a key installation setup consideration.

 

I talked to the gearbox and they recommended a Howe throwout bearing. I'm for some reason a bit skeptical of how the whole system works, I guess if someone could educate me a little more on it Ill be more confident in it...

 

im looking at buying a rearend for my car i have a 92 firebird with a 2.73 rear no im looking at geting a 3.42 posi from a 4th gen car with disk brakes what all do i need to change to make it work right and the brakes work i dont have a e brake that works now so i dont care about that and is there a really huge difference in the car with the rear change?

 

Do a search, there's numerous threads on installs length differences and so on. But itll fit, your back tires will stick out about 2 inches more in each side I believe.

 

i installed a gen 6 bbc using a ls1 t56 in my 82 z28

 

Is that the howe throwout bearing? Or RAM slave cylinder... I'm installing mine this weekend and I have the Howe tob

 

its the Howe Racing 82870

 

I have the 82876 will that work or would you recommend the 82870?

 

do u have a t5 bell housing

 

Muncie

 

the part # for ur part is for a t5 bellhosing .im not sure if it the same for the muncie

 

Yeah, I returned it and got the 82870, why is it loose around the input shaft?

 

when u slide it on it should have some resistance becuase it has a o ring.and to keep from spinning it has those weird bolts that come with the kit

 

The diameter of the tob is bigger than the input shaft until the very bottom

 

the shims line up the bottom when installed it should have a slight preload.use the shims to correct the distance
of the clucth and bearing i only used 3 shims for mine

 

Ok, as I installed my clutch today it all clicked. The bellhousing adapters got that little like tube that slips.over the input shaft for the throwout bearing. Right? I installed the clutch and was looking at the whole set up and then it came to me haha. I just gotta put the Damn tranny back together and I'm good. Oh daniel... What did you do as far as the master cylinder? I just got a wilwood universal one

 

i used the oe master cylender then had a -4 fitting welded to the end of the steel braided line. dont forget to check clearance between the clucth and the bearing
