I'll ask. AP seem to think it is the finger being thrown out by the huge interia from a very larger clutch pushing the release bearing back some!?



I find that very hard to believe.

While the clutch cover, and plate may be large diameter, the fingers arent much different to any other clutch, and have a similar diameter at the release bearing.

Your clutch etc is totally standard, as is your LS6 ( near enough )
I would think thats enough reason to look elsewhere for your problem.

Given the Slave and master combo is a little bit of an unknown for use with the LS1, Thats where I'd be looking.
How does the pedal actually feel under foot ?
Does it have a nice quick movement ? Good spring return pressure when you let off ?
Can you feel the fingers go over centre when foot is fully depressed ?
Where is the biting point ?
SO back to master cylinder size! Release bearing / slave is pretty std type (tilton one). Pedal not particularly heavy, feels fine under normal movement, bite point er - without going and trying now (at work not with car) I'd guess at have way.

Need to measure master cylinder?!

Ive PM'd a couple of guys over here to see if they have any thoughts

Both UK Robert, and V8M3 users have fitted LS1's to their cars. Robert used a 5 speed TKO, not sure about the M3 guy ( recently featured in PFC ) used.
