Yea mine has the GM mesh  :icon_cool:  Plus I found why the tranny went bad originally, there was a bad crack in the chassis. Check  out what this awesome welder did for me.

nice tig weld there!

nice!  so you just took her apart?  Ill be taking this 75w90 back , probably wont be getting the gm stuff tho, hope it doesnt bite me in the ass.

Everybody swears by the GM stuff, and I've read some mixed things on the Penzoil equiv. from various people. This is collectively between everyone who uses this tranny (W-bodies, Fieros, Berettas, Cavaliers, etc..)

Thanks, i will be getting the gm stuff,  went to autozone... good thing they were all out.  To the dealer! man i just hate going there.

I call them the Stealership :laugh:  If anything is worth paying $$ for it is that stuff, put it this way when I had my old Mustang GT with a tremec 3650 guys were running GM synchromesh in them, now if a ford guy puts chevy oil in his car and tells others about it, you know it is good.

drained the fluid out, there was like half a quart from us running through the junkyard with it. haha.  well got bigger problem now, cant seem to get the air out of the slave line,  i filled it and tried the 3 reps of 80 but got nothing... so now what? theres no bleeder on this one, rip it right out ?

yea theres way too much air in there, gonna have to try Bake82s method , hopefully i dont breat anything taking the line off the slave... these parts are original -20 years old...

The master is full right?  Keep pumping for a while before you break the line open, that should be your last resort........

update:  filled her up with gm fluid... 15 bucks a quart!! those bastards! Um,  got the roll pin out of the slave which i must say was verrry difficult, glad i didnt break anything! Waiting for my buddy to come over right now so we can bleed it from the line.  I read all the bleeding procedures i could find on 60degree,  hopefully it will firm up.   I did read that the slave should be extended all the way before you fill it?  I dont think mine is but im not about to pull on it...  oh well thats enough yappin

ok clutch is all bled, hopefully ill be screechin em tomorrow.

Nice I'll be coming through Albany this sunday, I'll give you a ring and see how she is doing!

So.....the little straps on the end of the slave cylinder were ok?  that's what I call LUCK! 

clutch works but not great, drove the car up and down the road, still have to get more air out... i noticed when you remove the slave from the trans, if you force the pushrod all the way back in a few times, air will get pushed out through the cap. Also, when bleeding the CMC and hydrolic line, pushing the CMC linkage by hand is more effective because the pedal bottoms out before the linkage which traps air in the master.   Also.... im missing the cap on the end of the pushrod which is stealing about an 8th inch of travel.  Im just glad the car moved which means the motor/trans got put together right.

ok so the cmc/slave is screwed...just got stuck trying to pull into the gas station! wouldnt go into first until the 10th try...turned around there and drove straigh home no stopping.... guess ill try taking the line back off the slave and rebleeding everything.  If that still doesnt work, im going to have to buy a brand new slave and CMC which sucks.  Am i bleeding the CMC right? WTF    oh well the car is fast as hell with Adams chip BTW , thanks Adam!  Pulls like no tomorrow... if i could just get the dam clutch to work right!  Any tips appreciated!
