I can shift without the clutch (syncros take a beating)....but getting it in first gear is an issue

Can I start it in first?

If not, I will just hot wire the starter with a push button and label that button start in first gear

I would go one step further and replace clutch disc as we'll if it hasn't been done. Also completely loosen hydraulic steel line ( if I remember right it has a clip on firewall I don't remember now) but I do remember I fought it until I loosened entire line. I also had to take out bleeder valve and the screw it back in after slave unit was installed. NAPA carried all of the original Euro parts supplier GM used.

And...what is difference between the Clutch Slave new and Clutch Slave new cast version besides $115?

Id look everywhere before I bought anything from thepartsladi again but I do like there guarantee,find a part elsewhere for a cheaper price and we will TRY and beat it.Best price so far for AC Delco is $58 for the master and $80 for the slave but Ive only just now starting looking into this.

Yes quality is the only issue when it comes to replacing these parts,I only want to do it once.Plus you have to take into account most likely AC Delco is getting there parts from the same place as mostly everybody else,thats why I would like to rebuild what I have knowing its done right,no shavings,backward seals,new parts that are garbage.

I'm confused. Not trying to be a wise guy, but those parts are for a suburban not a C4 with a zf6spd.

However, the cast stuff vs the DOM style parts should not have the same issues associated with the pourous metal and the welding issues. There could be bore run out issues. The slave still could have the seal installed backwards if they are assembled by the same people.

I had bought a cast slave cylinder from Federal Mogul out of desperation. I never installed it as the mounting flange being cast was thicker than the DOM slave's mounting flange. I was doubtful that the thickness would allow for the studs to show enough thread to catch the mounting nuts. I used the F/M slave's internal parts to "make" my own slave cylinder from my best DOM body. I was surprised to find that there were none of the issues in the F/M cast slave: no metal fillings, no issues with the return spring, and the seal was entirely different design than the seals used in the DOM types. The F/M seal had no micro-ridges, was very much larger and with a more mushroom shape allowing for a broad shoulder section to do the function of the micro-ridges in the DOM slave cylinders. It worked, apparently worked fine up till very recently. So say from winter 06 till winter 09. I should say that I actually suspect that my master is giving me my issues and not the slave cylinder that I made up. Reason that I say that is Bill told me about our fire wall spacer during our e-mail talk. The spacer is not the optimal angle to allow for a entirely linear push by the masters push rod, causing an arch motion to the master's piston travel in the bore, which contributes to abnormal wear on the piston seals. Bill said that he was toying with the idea of making a spacer that would correct this design flaw if he got the time.

It says in several places those Advance Auto parts are for 1991 ZR-1 Corvette. I am even more confused now
