Ochom's razor. Always something simpler than the conclusion we jump to.

It was the master. I filled the reservoir and the next day it was empty. I replaced it with one of those cheap Chinese ones. I will send the old one to Jim Jandik to rebuild. I love driving the Z and didn't want to waist any nice days. Just passed 10k, it had 7.8k when I bought it last August.

Thanks for all of your advice.

So yesterday shift no issue from a cold start....today will not engage a gear at all....found a large metal shaving in the Master cylinder in a screw shape....thinking maybe all of the material when they tapped the cast was just left inside...wonder if the line if clogging?

Have u thought of replacing hydraulic line?

LGAFF · 09-14-2014

The line is only a few years old....unless you are saying its clogged??

Something is breaking down if the fluid is getting black after only a few hundred miles. Sounds like the line is the oldest thing in the circuit.
Is it a SS braided line?

LGAFF · 09-14-2014

Yes its stainless ......from Classic Tube..

Well the clutch engagement issues went away this year, but it appears that after only about 8K miles the disc is shot; making me wonder what is causing all the problems? Too many projects right now and work, looks like no Corvette Shootout this year

problem might be solved clutch fork and pivot were worn, the disc was completely toast in under 10K miles
