everyone here knows that its NOT "learn to drive" issue.. lt1 t56's have a different set up than the lsx cars... everyone know that the lsx style clutch and pressure plate set up will hold more power the the ltx set up.
ssman00 thanks for the input on the type of slave to use.

thanks for your help
You could send the tranny to us, and we can convert it to a conventional push style CSC with 10.90 dual friction ceramic organic disc, lighweight billet steel flywheel, and have 600+ HP & torque capacity.
The pull style clutch is problematic and expensive to say the least.
We are doing one in a week, and I could post some pics of the before and after if you are interested.

All mounting remains the same.

265 wheel horsepower will implode a T-5. Stock T-56 will be good into the 4's and 5 hundred range. Just buy a better clutch set up.

bigger clutch sounds like the best option, how do you like your tick adjustable master cylinder.?
