Project clutch master cylinder/second gear grind - Page 64 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

MValdez17 · 10-30-2012, 06:53 PM

Received my upgraded clutch master cylinder yesterday. Once installed I will see how it works. Also going to install the GTO clutch reservoir.
By others results I'm pretty sure it will fix that annoying second gear grind.

Well we never made it to Vegas, Hurricane Sandy screwed us :(

I can't ship anything out until the post office gets power.

I like the write up that TICK did for their clutch line:
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=165176

While videos are good, better for me and I think many others is if IdealG could please redo the installation write up with more details and photos it would encourage lots of us to buy your product.

There's not much more of a video i can offer you. It's pretty much common sense here. It's one clip to remove the hydraulic line , one clamp to remove the hose from the reservoir to the master cylinder and then two bolts holding it in the pedal assy under the dash. If you can do it with the videos i provided then you should be doing it at all.

What exactly do you need help with? maybe i could better help you if you tell me what your unsure about.

The only improvement I could see would be to have clear pictures of the assembly that people are looking at from under the dash emphasizing the mount location and what they will see from under the hood.

Although its a pretty straight forward replacement the only issue I had was getting all the air out of the line/cylinder. Which is just tedious because of the location of the bleeder valve.

was619 quoted above, expressed what I was looking for in addition photos of what the clutch bleeder line actually looks like so when I get under there I know exactly what I am looking for. I appreciate anything you could do for us novices.

Oh, yeah, no rush. Please take care of life, limb and family this stuff can wait.

Ok I got my dad bringing his video camera in so later i'll try to do a video and show you the pedal assy, and underneath the car where the bleeder is.

Update: I can't do the video until my dad gets power back. Hurricane screwed us all up I have power here at shop but he has none at home. He needs to do the transfer and editing of the vids. I'll get you guys something as soon as i can.

IDEALG · 11-14-2012, 12:13 PM

Hey guys,

I was just talking to JDP Motorsports. I want to inform you guys that they sell a bigger and better throw out bearing for your Slave Cylinders.
They are going to post a pic for us. A lot of us will benefit from this So I wanted to bring it up and let them show it to you.

Thanks

So today I just sat through 2 hours of nothing but stop and go traffic and the clutch never got spongy or chattery like it did originally. It worked flawlessly
