well a part of my clutch system broke again.....i dont kno what it could be..its a old school set up, its a all lever system..last time the main bar bent and i had to get it welded...that was around christmas time..and yesterday i was driving and it was fine..then i stop at a stop sign,and it wouldnt go back in gear with the motor running i tryed gettin it iin gear for like 10 minutes it would'nt go into gear..i was pretty close to home so i just started the car in gear and drove it home..i had to stop at a light again after that and when i stopped i left it in gear and pushed i the clutch and it was actin like i only had the pedel halfway pushed in when it was to the floor...i am really pissed at this because i dont kno how to fix it...its not the same part that broke the first time i looked at that first so i am lost....any ideas or anyone kno how to fix it???

thanks,
steven

 

are u talking about the lil fork thing is what u had welded..maybe your linkage is fucked up..i'm not a stick guy i run autos because they are faster.

 

yea i think its the linkagae is whats messed up....how hard is it to convert it to a hydraulic set up???

 

talking to the wrong person...i run glides,th350s and 400s

 

well then you suck..lol ..well i guess a can of gasoline and some matches will solve my problem,

 

now pull the stick out and put a auto in it..they are faster and more consitant for drag racing..and i dont think your doing any type of road racing with skinnies on the front of that pig..lol

 

We used to do a bunch of five speed conversions back in the day. Hydraulic systems are not that hard to do but make sure that you get the cylinder that goes through the firewall perfectly in line with the pedal. There should be a mat under your carpet with a cut out in it to show you where to mount it. Ideally you would just get that part of the floor board from the donor car and use it to make wure of the placing. And as long as you have leg hand coordination keep yout manual. But if you are so old that the old body is betraying you then get an auto

 

hmm...doesnt sound too bad maybe i will look more into it.

lol.....yea leaning towards an auto....but only time will tell, if i can get ahold of a T56 then i might keep the stick

 

i found out what the part is called that broke...its called a Z-Bar...i found that its only on older camaro like the 69 and stuff....any ideas where i can get one?
