My car is at the shop getting the clutch put in, so im just thinking about her and felt like posting some pictures.

Looking good!

I guess you could say that I maybe needed a clutch... looks like it's branded "Luk" which I believe is the factory brand clutch. I guess she made it 45k miles, 20k of which was driven by me. Adding a supercharger probably didn't help.

Plenty of clutch material left, but looks like it was struggling to hold that extra juice from the blower! Nice!

Anyone need a remote bleeder? Apparently I ordered 2. Don't wanna bother trying to return it since it's been months. Pay the $10 small flat postage and it's yours.

Clutch installed. I don't know if it's the combo of billet sleeve slave cylinder, Tick adjustable master cylinder and mcleod RST clutch, but it is alot stiffer pedal. I have a feeling that alot of that is due to the tick master cylinder. The clut h engages at the very top of the pedal and I have already stalled it once or twice trying to get used to it. It will be awhile before I can properly break it in, so lots of grandpa driving in my future. I live on country roads so not alot of clutch engagement.

"The clutch engages at the very top of the pedal "

I hated that, and immediately went to a Ram Clutch adjuster.

well please do the break in, all of it. Whatever they say and maybe then some. I've smoked 2 clutches with my impatience for a break in period.

I definitely plan on it. I can't afford not to. I'm not exactly balling, so spending the money on the clutch and the install was realistically my 2024 budget for the Camaro outside of routine maintenance. I have some 6 piston Brembos that I want to powder coat and install but they might realistically have to wait until next year's mod list.

Your car is looking great, as always! Congrats on the new clutch and look forward to hearing more feedback as you get used to it.

Like hesster mentioned, you may want to consider getting a RAM Clutch adjuster to lower the grabbing point in the pedal.

The_bald_eagle_machine · 03-14-2024, 08:48 AM

Adjusted the remote reservoir. It actually work with the factory SS master cylinder line. I just bent the bracket a little bit towards the driver fender and it fits perfect. The clutch is getting a little softer the more miles I put on it.

The_bald_eagle_machine · 03-27-2024, 11:06 AM

So after installing the New Mcleod clutch, Tick master cylinder and new slave cylinder... The cruise control no longer works. Is there a clutch stop or something that needs to be adjusted? The pedal is sitting at stock height. The cruise control lights up like it is going to work, but when I push the set button, nothing happens. Cruise control worked prior to installing the clutch so I am wondering if I just need to adjust something.
