Default Can you use a Corvette slave in an F-body?

I bought an f-body slave off of a guy here a few months back, but didn't really look at it other than a quick glance.

Today I went to put my transmission together to swap it in the car and as soon as I saw the slave I knew it wasn't right.

Turns out it has the 90deg elbow on it for a Corvette.

The guy I bought it from screwed me on some of the other parts I bought too, so I'm sure I'm not going to get anything from him.

Is there any way I can use this on my Trans Am, or am I SOL?

Check to see if the part that is different can be changed out by removing a roll-pin. If so, use the F-body piece.

Yeah, I know that. I'm just wondering if the rest of the slave is the same or not?

Should be Bry, Call a GM parts dealer and see if there is any diff. I suspect there is not. If you have the bleeder on top and the location for the C/M line below it and it matches up to the notch on the case, then your fine.

BUT a FYI, I would never use a used anything as far as Slaves, Clutch master, or anything hydraulic unless I knew the milage or condition before purchase.

That way you know you got all good parts, brand new.

They are the same, however, like BlackScreaminMachine said, best to use new than questionable used parts. We sell Fbody slaves for $70 shipped right now!
