Good to know! Thanks, It looks like the one that's in there is in good condition. . .but the color threw me. Glad to know that I don't have to replace it yet. Gonna wait until the clutch fails. -J

Good idea! I have the lisle tool that uses the same principle. . .but I cannot quite get it to thread on without taking the clutch off. Thanks, -J

Anyone ever seen an aluminum pilot pushing installed in their car? Mine appears to have on. It's definitely not bronze. :) Also anyone no of a way to get the old one out without taking the clutch off? -J

All, I received the replacement pivot ball from Paragon today. Notice the difference, just like I hoped! :) I'm hoping this really makes a difference in the way the clutch reacts to pedal travel!

Tom, Yeah I looked at paragon, vol vette, and zip. All of their photos show a pivot ball that just from the photo's I can tell that they are longer. I measured mine at "over all" length of 1 & 3/8". If these others are measured from the threads or anything other than over all length. . .and...

Thanks Gary, Yeah, funny thing is, in my last Corvette I put a centerforce dual friction in the car. I actually had to go back to the stock pivot ball to meet the centerforce spec. I'm now trying to decide if I should replace the clutch in my current car. I was going to put another...

I do know that there are two different clutch pivot ball lengths. . .maybe not for Corvettes. . .but there are two commonly used sizes. When I did this same job on my old car a few years back, the clutch pivot ball was worn, and when I went to the local Corvette restoration shop the owner told...

When I bought this car, the previous owner said that the tans was rebuilt, and the clutch was replaced not long before the car was parked for 20 years. I pulled the trans because it was leaking. . .and found that it was rebuild by a monkey. Pulled the bell housing and the clutch looks new...

Man, now I'm confused. The spec sheet for the high perfomace gear oil shows no (ZERO) sulfer. . .like I originoally remember seeing. And the vlavoline GL4 MTF or Syncrhomesh oil DOES have sulfur in it!!! I'd post their links. . .but I'm not sure how to do that in the forum. -J

Damn it. . .looks like I was kinda wrong. According to these new sheets. . .it's this oil we should be using. 404 Not Found

Hey Hib, good to hear from you again. For the most part I agree, generally I don't like to mask a problem with thicker oils. But to be honest, I wasn't 100% sure I had the right weight oil in there. I thought it was supposed to be straight 90, 75w90 or 80w90. . .but the seed of doubt was...

I confirmed that it's Valvoline 75w90 GL5/4 high performance gear oil. This is exactly what I used in my other muncies with now issues, and no noise. I may try the heavier oil. :) I sent an e-mail to Paul Cangialosi with the same question. . .and he indicated that it could just be noisy...

Good question. I wanna say 75w 90. But I'm not sure that is correct.

First of all, it's good to be back! After two years of no Corvette in my life, I'm finally working on the car again. Moving the family and having two small kids doesn't help with time in the garage. :) Ok, so here is the problem. . .and this happens when the car is stationary with the...

Not yet. Still tackling mechanical issues :)

Here is the detail docuement

Time for my 1970 coupe to go to a new home. Attached you will find a document containing all the detail that you would want to know about this car. . .as well as all the work I've done to the car since I purchased it in 2007. It also lists the few things that it needs. . .that I have not...

If you want to go with a factory looking pipe. . .and muffler. . .I went with the OFF-ROAD exhaust from Allens Exhaust. . .and I love them. I had flow masters, and took them off because it made the cabin unbearable for a coupe. For a convertible. . .I would think they would have been fine...

What should the distance be between the ground and the front wheel arches? Who much space should there be between the top of the tire and the fender? I just spent the winter doing a front end rebuild on my 1972 LS5. I used all new components. . .springs, shocks, bushings, ball joints...
