Finally got time to get Blue Thunder on the lift to replace the throw out bearing.

Here's some pictures of the bad bearing , destroyed the slave cylinder.

Why'd the bearing fail? Your master cylinder blew it out?

The bearing failed because GM uses a crappy cheap bearing that's half made of plastic. My Master Cylinder has nothing to do with it.

I'll post pics of the difference today when i go to install the new upgraded bearing.

Here's the original bearing next to the new one from JDP Motorsports

I knew it would only be a matter of time before that stock bearing with the plastic center would fail.

Thnx Jerry just put in my ideal garage master clutch cylinder, ticks high flow clutch line, remote resivoir and a return spring for the clutch. Feels a lot better and shifts smoother. Seems like the clutch doesn't need to be pressed in nearly as much.

Hey guys,

I have been having this 2nd gear grind issue on my V6 6M pretty much since I bought it and I was directed to this thread.

From what I gathered from reading a few of the pages, the new master cylinder package (the one for $265) is what I need to fix this, along with some Royal Purple syncromax tran fluid?

Also, I would def not be comfortable with installing this myself so I would be taking it to my mechanic that I have known for years. What would a typical install of this cost (ballpark is fine)?

Thanks guys
