Clutch issues
Hi,
I have a 1983 Z28 with a mechanical clutch. We have chased tons of problems for the past 10 years with this clutch. I could drop the tranny and work on the clutch in my sleep. It is time to install a hydraulic clutch. Has anyone done this before? If so what's involved? We've heard we may even need to change the tranny? Any ideas? thanks Robin |

List the problems you mentioned. Maybe you have a defective flywheel or other component like the bearing fork etc.
Also how do you break your clutches in? I assume you drive it like an old lady for 500 or more miles. They have to break in right it's like a set of brake pads. If not broken in they won't last very long when things start going south. |

We have chased problems like a crack along where it bolts on the frame.Twisted, bent parts, we have replaced many components and it is time to replace it with a hydraulic set up.
