Default Great help.

Bill Boudreau called me this weekend and said I here you keep loosing your T/B. He said replace the fork and the pivot ball. If the fork gets it's fingers spread out just a hair then it will allow enough play for the T/B bearing to get side ways. He said the Spec stage 3plus clutch kit I bought is an awesome clutch but the first time I start the car up after install it will make a swoosh sound. After that it will be less noticeable. It does that because it has much more clamping force than stock. He also said that the driveshaft tail nose spline can get stretched out and cause enough play to cause a little vibration. He gave me the Spicer part# for it and where to get it. It was a very fruitful conversation. He also told me about a great technique on how to use feeler gauges to evenly torque down the clutch bolts so when the pressure plate engages that it will ensure even surface contact.

Okay, I'm not 100% sure but I thought that our input shaft collars were a different diameter than the L98/LT1/LT4 transmissions???? If my memory is correct wouldn't that make a release bearing for a ZF in an LT5 a different part number due to it's inside diameter of it's collar??
