T5WC Clutch travel issue
I have been having issues with difficulty getting into gear (usually 1st and 2nd) on my 90 camaro since I've owned it. I have tried bleeding the clutch fluid and made things worse so I got a gm sealed clutch hydraulics assembly and had that put in. It was better but not like it should be, and the mechanic said he though it wasn't getting enough travel too. I kind of always thought then that it was in the trans after that but I just got a rebuild and the problem persists. I have also looked for any obstruction around the pedal or at the clutch itself and found nothing. I'm really at a loss. Does anyone have any insight into this issue?
Thanks

Re: T5WC Clutch travel issue
There should be a couple little plastic/teflon type bushings/pads on either end of the rod from the arm to the slave cylinder. Not sure how much they actually add to the length but if they're missing it would shorten the travel some.
