oh SNAP!!!

 

67 vette that was pretty harsh he did edit his first post and tell everyone that pete was helping him throught the situation

 

I have a feeling 67vette is someone he knows, as his IP address goes back to Roadrunner ISP in Hawaii also...

 

I'll go PM, Just trying to find out when my clutch is shipping out..........Got a phone call from you on the 2nd of January and haven't heard back since then. What is so hard to decipher about that.........I'm getting a little disturbed about not knowing when my parts are going to ship.

 

might have an idea who 67 vette is.

 

I have to agree, it seems that you are uninformed on how the clutch works, and then got an attitude with Ferocity02 made a valid guess on what could be wrong. Also with the title of this thread, you make it seem like your clutch exploded on you, rather than just not letting you into gear.

 

I've installed every part on my car except the clutch...to include the cam, valvetrain, etc, etc. I work as a test pilot for a living. Don't lecture me to "get a Chilton's manual" and that I don't know mechanics. I've aso installed three clutches, one on a 67 GTO and 2 on Fox body Mustangs. The hydraulics are "new"....but I understand the system.

As for the clutch being fine? Well.....when the car won't go into or out of gear when the engine's running....what would you think? It MAY be the slave (which is all of 4K miles old), or the just as old throwout bearing. Could be a bad finger on the pressure plate or some other related issue. Either way, these are all parts of the clutch system, my all knowing friend, and if some part of this system didn't fail then my car would be working just fine.

So, how are you able to brilliantly deduce that my clutch is just fine? Even Pete at Textralia doesn't know that....or I wouldn't be pulling it tomorow!! Please let me in on your wisdom...it will save me a lot of work! As for the "bleeder screw", excuse me. If YOU owned a Chilton manual, you'd know there is no reference to WHERE the slave cylinder bleeder screw is located. I'm sure you know every bolt on the F-body and have never had a question.

BTW, you're smarta$$ ending to your post is the reason for my reply. You obviously have no intention of giving credible advice. What the hell is this board for, if not to ask questions and gain information?

Oh yeah....you're off to a good start too, this being your FIRST post.

 

Owned? Not really. As for the title. Well, once a post is started....can't change the title. I DID think it was toasted at first....until getting some info and also talking to Pete.

I was short with Ferocity02. He was actually the one that posted the pic of the slave bleeder location, after I was snappy towards him. I was wrong and appreciated the help. I was quite unhappy that initial day when my car quit working. I'd spent all week prepping it for the track. It was a real let-down, I'm sure many can relate to that.

Again, I'm looking for information, not smarta$$ attitude. I'll talk to my children if I want that!

 

I'm replacing the master cylinder tomorrow. If that doesn't cure it, trans is coming out Saturday. I'll know then what the problem is.

 

yeah...dont pay attention to the negative posts...some are just upset when people post things before they are absolutely sure of what the problem is...but since you allready updated your original post theres no need for everyone to jump down your throat. i too am pretty sure its a hydraulic issue but like previously posted, the PP bolts can also be causing a problem. either way im sure your trans is fine so you shouldnt worry about that. hope you get it squared away without it hurting your pockets any.
goodluck.

 

He will, he is a really good guy. I don't know many people that will send out a new clutch without recieving the old one first, Lets hope that it is just the master......good luck.

 

I will say its the master or the slave.replace both Phil.

 

i had problems and ended up having to buy a new master and slave. few days later i heard from the company i bought it from and Pete i believe at Textralia....however, i never recieved the reimbursement(parts) like i was told i would recieve after having to spend ~$300 at GM on a new master and Slave that were working fine before the clutch install..

 

I found the problem with my clutch....it was the install. Posted all the details as an update in the origonal post.

 

Well, put the car back together today. Works great now. I posted a similiar topic in this forum.

Thanks to Pete for all his tech help and to everyone else that pointed me in the right direction

 

guess i shouldnt hold my breath for those parts...

 

Yikes. He was, uhhh, FAR closer to the actually cause of the problem then you were .... and he doesn't own your car, doesn't drive it, and didn't know any of the symptoms. If it wasn't your PP bolts backing out, a bad slave causing the clutch not to disengage would've been much more likely then a "blown up clutch" .....

The only reason I post this, is because you seem far to quick to blow up on the people who are attempting to help you. The second and third posters down answered your question perfectly, and Ferocity02 nailed it ... then you bash on him, saying "do you know my car, do you own this clutch blablabla". I know you apologized (probably just because you were wrong and he was right), but then you go and do the SAME THING to someone else right after you apologize. Gees man, that's just plain shitty.

Don't ask people for help if you already think you know the answer, and want to just shoot down everyone else's suggestions. From now on, save everyone else the trouble, and tear down your own car, and find your own problem before you go badmouthing the part, and giving crap to the people who are trying to help you.
