i recently bought a clutch kit for my LS transmission. i installed it correctly to my knowledge from watching a specific video on youtube. i installed it to the "T" using the alignment tool and everything.

i got the transmission bolted up to the engine, and as of right now it is ready to go.

now my question is, is that when u pull up on the clutch arm where the cable goes, should u be able to activate the clutch with the motor outside the car.

why i am asking is bcuz i was just outside. cleanin the motor more, and pulled up on the arm. i felt the throw out bearing sliding out, and then it just stopped when it came to the pressure plate. didnt move after that.

i thought the throw out bearing was supposed to hit those arms and push those arms down to activate the clutch?

 

I don't have an answer to give so sorry.

I do however have a question, what's your reason for going with an LS tranny? Trying for more MPG?

 

If you can pull the arm up by hand then you are a machine. Why do you think there is a longer pedal on the clutch to provide more leverage? Also there is a diagram floating around that shows all the measurements for properly setting clutch height/s. YouTube blows - true story.

 

Then why post? To up your count? You add Nothing to this thread, you little boner you.

 

personally i like the gear ratio for the LS transmission. i dont like the gears of the b16, and to help save a little bit of money i didnt want to go with the GSR tranny and get the hydro to cable conversion.

 

I wish i could pull the arm up all the way. Didnt dawn on me about the amount of clutch pedal travel.

but it was something that just popped into my mind, like "should i be able to move this"


but i do know that once i get the motor in the car i can adjust the cable itself.
