Possibly interested, depending on how bug my paycheck is.

Hey 06Black, If you don't get the slave from SS4Life, I have a brand new one. I did install it, but took it out before it had any miles at all. I thought it was the cause of my fluid leak, but I was wrong. Oh well, I needed the practice of taking the trans out another time. Seriously, I don't know what they are worth, but make me a fair offer if you don't get Kevins.

Mike

Ok, I didn't install the clutch last night. I took the girl out for dinner etc. for our 3 year anniversary of being together. I figured I needed to keep her happy since I've been sort of bent out of shape lately about the car. Tonight is hopefully the night boys. If it goes well, I guess I'll have to order some more parts!

well its still not working i can hear the slave pushing against the clutch but i'm not sure if pressing hard enough or that it is losing pressure when it presses up against the clutch, or it just can't release it because of the clutch being too thick.

I THINK THESE ARE MY OPTIONS
the dealer said they can put a stock one back in, won't do aftermarket
i could keep trying to bleed it
i could pay someone to figure it out
i could try to get a refund and get a spec clutch

From what I heard, Spec's still slip though. Is this true or is it just the people that don't break them in right.

06black you might want to get that slave from mike because i might need mine i am getting it towed to a transmission shop to look at and it might be my slave thats the problem. i am still waiting on the rubber stopper, so i am not sure if i should just take it up there now, because if i don't i will have to wait untill monday.

Hey, everyone that had to send theirs back? Did you have to pay shipping for it? They didn't give me a number or anything when they asked to send it back other than a reference number as to what the problem was.

I don't wanna send it yet if they are paying for everyone else's.

You should receive a call tag from UPS in the next day or so. Otherwise, call Lonnie and ask if they forgot to send a call tag.

Well, I have 650 miles on my new clutch. The system has self bled itself the rest of the way. I have about 1.5" of reserve and can do a WOT 1-2, which I have not been able to do since I took the stocker out. You guys who have a low reserve need to put some miles on the car. Double clutch it if necessary to get good shifts. In case there is someone out there that is not familiar with double clutching, it is simply the process of cycling the clutch while you are in neutral during a shift. Number one, it makes it possible for you to shift when your reserve is low, and secondly, it helps to work any small amounts of air out of the system twice as fast.

Well its not that it needs to be bleed, i can get the Mity Vac to sit on 25hg and not even move and pull fuild up out of the resovior and i can hear the bearing pushing against the clutch, i think the clutch disk is too thick, because when the pressure plate pulls away, i don't think it is getting away enough,

2K5SS did you ever get your in and working.

I really don't want to tow it over 20 miles to a desent trans shop.
Any help would be great
