Looking for any insight on how to get my clutch working on the swap in my 53 Chevy truck. The clutch will not disengage on its own. The setup isn’t exactly normal so there isn’t really anything out there. Everything is mounted under the floor of the truck so the master is just slightly lower than the slave. Here are the parts

-LSA/TR6060 setup out of a CTS-V
-stock LSA clutch
-New first gen CTS-V slave cylinder
-​​​​​.750” wilwood master cylinder
-Clutch line is a banjo bolt to -4 adapter on the master, then a -4 line to an adapter on the slave hard line. I used a brake line bender to put a tight bend in the slaves hard line.

Here is a video of what I am experiencing.


if anyone is curious why I’m running a first gen slave, it’s because the second gen doesn’t have a bleeder on it. They measured the same height, the slaves have the same casting numbers and but gens use a dual mass clutch.

 

I know it has been a while, but did you ever figure it out? My only thought was an issue with the slave cylinder, either being scored internally, or mis-machined at the end of the bore/ stroke. Does the pedal feel firm, like all the fingers on the pressure plate are not bent and are pushing hard against that slave cylinder? Does not look like a hydraulig issue, slave moves nicely and no air as you noted. Seems like you have a bind with some part in the clutch itself or in the slave cylinder.
