My latest stupid question

[todesengel]

Ok, I have a bellhousing, fw, clutch/pp,tob from a 91 car. I now have a blue label zf. Will this present any problem for me?

I am getting ready to rebuild the clutch, re-line the disk with different material , resurface the pp, clip the springs, etc. Before I go through the hassle I would like to know that it is not a waste of time.

TIA

so is it just the tob then, or the entire clutch assembly that I have to procure?

Not a problem, however you will need to buy a couple of things.
You will need the later style throwout bearing.
If the blue label is a '95 with a "CrashThrough" to reverse instead of a lift ring lockout you will need a new leather shifter cover.

I have a '95 blue label with "Crashthrough" reverse in my '90 and I love it.
It's much quieter than my original '90 black label.
If I hit the lottery I'll have the ZFDoc rebuild my original black label, otherwise it'll stay in the wooden shipping box in my storage shed.

I hear you TC but this is a case you truly get what you pay for.

Thanks Crabs. This is in my gto so I needed a new boot anyway

Not to hijack your thread, Tod but I may a have a similar issue. I have a black label setup. I have the new S-640 input/gear shaft and all of the parts needed except for the throwout bearing and pilot bushing. Not sure what the correct parts are to purchase though.

Consider yourself lucky.
I had a 91 and 1st gear driving around a parking lot the tranny sounded like it had a few wallnuts inside. Apart from that I don't recall it being any noisier than my 94.

I had a blue-printed (by BB) Blue-Label in my 95 LT1 car, and it was soooo slick and smooth it was like butter. So, when I bought the 90 Z with it's Black Label trans, I noticed immediately the increase in gear noise and overall "truck like" feel, especially in first. I wasn't sure it was anything to be concerned about, so I had a couple of the Brotherhood check it out for me, and pronounce it "normal". I quit worrying about it, but I sure liked that blue-label. Maybe if BB went through my black label, it would be slicked up some. (I may need a 5th gear synchro anyway, so maybe I should send it off next winter? Hmmmm...)
