Default Hmm, clutch seems to have lost pressure

Its always before a trip, right?

So the peddle feel has gone away completely. It travels about 2/3rd of the way to fully clutched in without any resistance. Then the last 3rd, I can feel it bite and engage.

hydraulics?

I also have been having an issue getting into 1st at least once a trip now.

Guess its off to the dealer. I hope they don't give me **** for having a ls7 clutch in there.

Trouble going into first is very common with all T56s so I wouldnt worry about that just release the clutch and push it back in and itll go right in.

I would hope since the LS7 is a GM direct part that they wouldnt hassle you.

I think I have a LS7 slave. I had a dealership tech do the swap when I was last home (out of town for work).

the clutch line on thatslave is 10'' longer than stock.. i had to bend and zip tie it up away from the manifold...could be that the line is on the exhaust and boiling the fluid or just burning a hole in the line... best bet would be to bleed it and check the line routing..took me awhile to get the line where i was happy enough to leave it
