Great help.

Nice write up Cliff!


Hey, I wonder why the zf release bearing works that way? Maybe because it pulls instead of pushes?

I saw a thread over at CF in the ZR-1 section. A person is using a C2 with I think a custom chassis as a new home for an LT5. He ditched our release bearing system for one that I think is like the C5 & C6 type. No slave and no fork (?) ... I should say here that I'm not fluent in C5 or C6 so I could be wrong. However the pictures that were posted show an LT5 bell housing with the slave mount machined off and a block off plate with a hydraulic line exiting from it. He had to do this because the slave would have been in the driver's foot well.

bill has also come up with a new set up he is using on his LS1 converson in his 89. which still uses a hydrolic clutch but changes the system to the standard type of clutch release . i will call hima and see if he will post up what he did . i am thinking of going to his new set up on one of my cars .

The diameter is not visually noticeable, but the late model style has a plastic type of bushing inside. I would imagine it's for friction reduction in lieu of grease.

As usual Cliff, very nice write-up.
