Hey chris, I just thought about it. We should have ran the trucks Friday night, the Avalanche vs the Durango. You prolly would have won but it would have been fun.

Yea we should have. I ran the Avalanche last year at one of the old EFI points races. It run mid 16's in July only getting 80% throttle. I'm still thinking about put the Hp tuners to it so I can get rid of that problem.

Lol, if I've owned it, it's been to the track atleast once. I had 2 different 5.3L Silverados I took to the track. My 2000 X cab ran 15.000@94mph completely stock. I killed em bracket racing it that night until I went red in the final round. That was a fun night, I made about 10-12 passes all between 15.00-15.05 and left with a trophy

I'm annoyed as **** that we're now associated with New Orleans. How about a mod that knows a little something about geography?

I want a Shreveport/Bossier section. May start my own.

<long day, pissy mood>

Alright guys, I need help from the collective.

I noticed a brown/black fluid dripping from the front of the bellhousing.

I thought it was probably the rear main seal, I didn't replace it when I built the engine because it only has 49k miles on it, and came out of a running 2500HD.

When I got the clutch out, I noticed that the flywheel side of the <edit> clutch disk was missing all but one of the pads. The clutch is a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch that I got out of Blaine's GTO that burned up *(could this be a contributing factor? Clutch looked great when I took it out of his car. Also looked great when I put it in mine. We put the clutch in his car 200 miles before the car burned.)

When I pulled off the slave cylinder, fluid poured out from the area between the slave and the transmission. Is this normal? I've never pulled a transmission with fluid still in it. This fluid has about 20 miles on it, I'd like to keep it.

Is there a seal that is supposed to go between the slave and the transmission?

Is the seal <edit> on the front of the transmission supposed to be "water tight"?

Here's what I'm thinking:
fluid came from back of transmission for one of the above reasons, got on the clutch, ruining it.

OR:
Clutch was damaged by the heat from the fire. If came apart, shifting things around, causing the transmission to leak.

OR:
Another cheapy ****, mexican slave cylinder failed, puking fluid onto the pressure plate, causing it to come apart, which shifted things around, causing the transmission to leak.

The cheapy **** slave has about 40 miles on it. I noticed it has some slight damage on the snout, probably from meeting parts of the pressure plate pads.

I've already got all the **** out of the way, and I have a brand new rear main seal. Should I change it anyway? Seems stupid not to.

Transmissions are fun to bench press!

Second section: Fuel rail schrader valve related
I decided to pull the nitrous off my car. I have stock 2001 GM fuel rails. A Schrader valve needs to be screwed into the fuel rail to keep the fuel from squirting out.

I tried a tire Schrader valve. It was too big. Hmm. What to do? I happen to have a fuel rail off Galen's 1998 TA. Thinking I was in luck, I pulled the valve out of it. ALSO too big. What the hell?

I went to ABC and they didn't know either.

Let's talk about it!
Thanks,
Hilton

Damn Hilton sounds like fun. Lets talk about it. The flywheel side of the pressure plate was missing pads??? Dont you mean the clutch disc was pads? There should be NO fluid between the slave and the trans, no seal goes there either. When you ask about the output shaft of the trans being water tight, you do mean the rear of the trans right? If so, its not water tight. I have pulled a t56 out of f bodies probably 10 times now, most of which I spilled a little fluid out the rear, but never the front, thats sealed. Here is what I think, or sounds like to me. If you at anytime had pads on the back of that disc come off for any reason, your slave could have over extended itself, puking fluid all over the clutch. OR, you did infact have a shitty slave, failing, puking fluid on the clutch ruining it, possibly causing the disc to fail and fall apart. If you have actual trans fluid on the clutch, it sounds like you could have some serious problems there. Did you check the level for the clutch fluid to see if you lost some? Brown/black fluid sounds like the clutch fluid to me.


Just thought about this, by pads did you mean the diaphragm "fingers" on the pressure plate? I think I am confused because you said on the flywheel side, and the diaphragm fingers are on the trans side

And if you were driving and had the actual pressure plate fail, you would definitely have noticed. I would imagine it would have made some horrible noises

Clutch disk, sorry. Also, I guess it's not the output shaft. I'm talking about the shaft that comes out of the front of the transmission that the slave slips over.

fixed original

Of the few LS1 rails Ive dealt with, almost all of them that had nitrous on them. And almost all of them had the fittings tightened down so much that it closed the very tip of the rail up, keeping me from putting a schrader valve back in it. I had to open the tip up a little to get it to thread back in.
