Re: Trans swap interchange
I payed close attention today to where the clutch was disengaging and its close to the floor. When I let the clutch out it catches almost immediately.

Re: Trans swap interchange
Sounds like it needs to be bled.

Re: Trans swap interchange
I pulled the slave off the trans, I think my slave is just shot.
Pics:
Once I replace it, am I pushing the rod on the slave or in the car at the pedal to get the air out?

Re: Trans swap interchange
The rod on the slave. I put the slave rod on the trans in a little dimple and then pump the slave housing. Saves the palm of your hand from getting beat up.
Unhook the pedal before you do it, because it gives the fluid a path back to the reservoir. And if you have a brain fart and push the pedal without the slave installed (compressed) it will blow it out.

Re: Trans swap interchange
Thats what I figured. I have to wait till tomorrow to get a new slave so I guess thats as far as I go today. I also noticed that the end of the slave rod where it goes into the trans has different notches on the tip, can this only go into the trans one way?

Re: Trans swap interchange
My clutch fluid is really dirty. It is far from clear. I want to flush all the old fluid out before I put the new slave on. What is the best way to clear out all the old fluid ? I can pull the whole system out and bench bleed it if need be, I just dont understand how to get the old fluid out.

Re: Trans swap interchange
Yeah, I have part numbers in my build thread. I'll take a look through. I highly recommend the braided line if you are going to beat on it. The stock slave line has a restriction that slips the clutch a little bit on shifts to make it smoother and a little easier on the drivetrain. I actually smoked a stage 2 clutch beating it at the strip because of the stock line. With the braided line it is a little jerkier on shifts until you get used to it, but I pounded it at the strip without any clutch issues. It actually made the pedal a little lighter too.
To replace the line you just punch out the pins on the master and slave and remove the line. Then you can drain all the old fluid easily. Then install the new line and press the pins back in. Earl's sells pinlock fittings that convert to AN, and then you just need an AN line with a 90 on the end.

Re: Trans swap interchange
I found that in your thread and think I'm going to go that route. Thanks for all the help. I am just going to overhaul the clutch. New clutch, throwout bearing, flywheel, master/slave/line. Once I have all the parts I will just do it all at once. New slave came in today and hopefully the rest will be here this weekend.woody90gtz wrote: Earl's sells pinlock fittings that convert to AN, and then you just need an AN line with a 90 on the end.
