I posted in Camaro tech, saw the sticky saying to post in the more specific forum.


I installed a throwout bearing, "only" in a 94 camaro today. Now the clutch doesnt seem to disengage enough to shift the trans into gear while the engine is running. The swap seemed to go pretty smooth, untill I went to move the car. The clutch will disengage enough to start the car in gear and it doesnt seem to try to move. It seems that I just need a little more fork movement. Can that be adjusted or could I have somehow installed the tob wrong.

This might seem odd but old tob if I placed on its bearing face the center hub ocilates if it is turned while the face stays stationary on the tables surface.

If I hold the center hub in my hand and spin the bearings face, it spins perfectly true. Maybe this is some way of adjusting the clearence on it by adjusting the hub clockwise to a predetermained position??

Also the hub of the bearing has a ramp/bump at a single point in its circumference. Is this supposed to point in any perticular direction or does this just prevent the center hub from turning in the fork as I think its for. The ocilating thing has me confused. Thanks for any help mike

Well after doing some thinking and research , I came to the conclusion that the 120,000 mile clutch slave cylinder must of gave up some travel throw or extension abilty. Now thats not for certain but I will keep you posted. As is the slave Cylinder only moves a .5".

Just removing it from the bellhousing allowed the pushrod to slide out a couple of more inches maybe allowing air into the system. Causeing the problem that I am having, I hope anyways. mike
