pulled the tranny today... found this
Damn this thread is scaring me. I got my car at 65k and I'm pretty sure it has the stock clutch in there. It grabs just fine, no slipping or burning, but the hydraulics are pretty shot. Now I'm worried about opening it up.

got the monster in yesterday, figured why not? and took a picture.. theres some paint over-spray on the pressure plate so i emailed them about it also asking for a detailed install write up, figured i wont have the tranny back for a week anyway, might as well ask
Like said earlier, That was a GM Factory clutch, replace EVERYTHING and IMO get a Tick Master Cyl. as its been hands down the best thing for M6 Fbodies to date. I am A Textralia man but to each their own.
The best thing you can do is not mod and regularly bleed it with DOT4 Fluid.
, and for once I'm kinda glad I don't though. I want to do other things before I have to do the whole clutch and hydraulics thing. I'll be sure to keep it bled and full of fluid though especially since I drive 100% city and a lot of stop and go. By the way is there any way to install the tick speed bleeder without pulling too much stuff out?

i just did the stock adjustable MC thing and the drill mod, the master didnt look bad at all, a little gunk near the metal stop but that was it

Lol. I know , and for once I'm kinda glad I don't though. I want to do other things before I have to do the whole clutch and hydraulics thing. I'll be sure to keep it bled and full of fluid though especially since I drive 100% city and a lot of stop and go.

pending that your socket doesnt fall into the bellhousing... ask me how i know that... we've had the trans out 6 times now, so it takes all of 1 hour to get it out. that is in the driveway with only a floor jack lol

my cheap extensions dont have this locking mechanism and i know what you're talking about, but you dont need an extension to bleed the clutch
Well that's all the more equipment I'd have access to. Glad to hear it doesn't take that long to get the trans out. I can imagine the reaction the minute you hear the socket fall in there. Damn that would suck.
Well that'd make sense. The master cylinder is in there something tight and is pretty well hidden. The tranny is right out there in the open. If changing the master was easier I would have gone to the tick long ago.

actually thinking about it, 5 hours for a lil POS is alot of time lolol
Well it may be a little pos but it's one of the things you use the most when you drive the car so it does have a big impact on things. I think for me the frustration of working in small spaces is more of the issue than the time it takes. If I could get it out and done in 5 hours then I'd do it, like now.

and i agree, i felt like a contortionist playing around with my head 2 inches from the place my feet spent most of their time, if all you're looking to do is replace it, not rebuild it like i did, honestly it can be done in under 5 hours with taking breaks throughout to avoid frustration, just take your time and dont think of it as "work" but as "time away from everyone" lol
