tranny's out clutch fork doesnt look bent but the center drive that the tranny connectis it to is bent...

 

center drive as in the input shaft? the piece that looked like a long gear that goes into the back of the block?

 

sorry for my shitty details this is my first time tearing down a car since im flat broke.

not the input shaft, but where the fork connects on to and where the input shaft connects into. its in the center of the pressure plate

 

can you get some pics ?

Was the bolt loose on the T stud that holds the fork to the front of the transmission.

 

yeah il get a bunch of pictures of what i've got off and whats going on so far , thanks for baring with me

edit= i just googled the diagram , my throw out bearings mangled so im guna keep going and see what else is messed up

 

throw out bearing ='s fucked , im guna try getting the fly wheel resurfaced. and depending on what you guys say about the looks of the clutch , the LT4 stock clutch

 

sorry about the large images i tried to resize them but thats what they came out as

 

That will do it.

 

See the gouge around the outside edge of the clutch plate ? Thats from what I was describing to you, the bolt that holds the T-stud on, where the fork pivots backed out, allowing the clutch fork to get closer and closer to the pressure plate, eventually when you push the clutch pedal the fork will hit the plate, im guessing maybe you took it really far and it was against the clutch plate already and thats what let you get enough force to bend the lip to the throwout bearing.

Usually the throwout bearing isnt available seperately for the LT1's T56 setup, you are best off going to see tampa clutch supply, tell them you want the LT4 corvette plate and a dual friction disc, the whole setup will be affordable and do well for power handling.

 

I have my old pressure plate from when I changed it out and you are welcome to throwout bearing if you want. It only had 42K mi on it.
