Conversation Between wrd1972 and tylerwerrin

Hey Wrd,

I saw a post you made a few months back regarding slave cylinder mods for an LT1 t56. i'm having what i think to be the same problem as the guy's thread you posted on.

right now, my master only displaces 5.38cm^3 of fluid. its a small bore (1.9cm) and I only have around 1.9cm of stroke. I'm working with a slave cylinder from a 1990 camaro. I ended up blowing out the end of my other slave while bleeding it.

When i worked out the math, I was only getting like 1.06cm of movement, so I'm off by about 1.5cm to disengage the clutch. Since my pedal pressure is already quite high, i dont want to just go with a larger bore master -- what if i just made a new slave cylinder rod that was 1.5cm longer (or slightly longer)? wouldn't that solve the problem?

I don't know what the stock slave's rod length is (on a 1993 camaro LT1) so i'm kinda out of luck on that. for all i know the rod in a 1990 camaro slave is shorter than the t56, which might make sense.

what do you think?
