Clutch fluid low
 

Moved the car today to readjust how my kwiklift is in the garage.

Clutch felt not right. Turns out it was empty. I saw no signs of leaking. Guess that is another thing to add to my winter list.

Jim's Website

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

Geesh wait a minute I had to research the name to post it in there :dancing

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

I need a pair done maybe time for a group rate lol

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

So, these are tough to find? Like the belt tensioner?

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

OEM, yes.. aftermarket cast are readily avail.

Jim's prices are what they were when you could get them from GM/ NAPA etc. years ago

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

I just emailed him for a quote for a rebuild

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

Good to know. I'll keep my peepers peeled.

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

Sure you can wait? ;) lol

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

Group rate would be awesome.

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

Concur. Will advise. I'm sure a lot of have a few dead spares laying around. I do.

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

From ........Power Torque Systems
Appears that the Clutch Master is $160 + $40 Core Charge.
Appears that the Clutch Slave is $160 for 90' and $150 for 91'-95' with no Core.

I am not so sure the information is current on the Web Site........... Phone (641) 342-7446

Let us know the response you get in e-mail :cheers:

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

Ok I have the info....

$50 for the slave and $60 for the master plus $13.45 shipping. He will only rebuild the original Lucas-Girling design with the 1/8th thick flange where the bolts go through. At this price point a group buy will not be an option but I feel this is a fair price. I will be sending my pair off. GC

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

So...........I wonder if these are Completely New Clutch Masters and Clutch Slaves that he advertises on the Web Site? I wonder what he does with the Clutch Master Core if you send one in?
It Appears that the Clutch Master is $160 + $40 Core Charge.
It Appears that the Clutch Slave is $160 for 90' and $150 for 91'-95' with no Core.

Anyway.......Who can complain about the $50 and $60 price......at that price he will get several I am sure. He must take the one you send in for rebuild and replace seals and maybe plunger only for $50 and $60?

I will check all of my Masters and Slaves to make sure. Is there anymore information regarding the Lucas-Girling design identification with the 1/8th thick flange and does that apply to both the Master and Slave?

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

I wonder if Tilton or any aftermarket manufacturer has a compatible master. I have the McLeod twin disk clutch on my 93 lt1 car and it came with an aluminum master.

maybe Jerry would be willing to speak with some manufacturers ? im sure we could come up with enough interest for a group buy to start. I believe all c4s LT1/4/5 share the masters as well? positive there would be interest there as well.

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

Yes it apples to both. Basically if its a smooth and painted body its the original MC. AF market are cast metal and have a thicker flange

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

This is who I had rebuild my oem slave from the '92. I still have his rebuild. Nice guy to work with, and seems to know lots about the master and slave cylinder.

I am slowly building up parts for my next ZR-1.

Nice update -=JEFF=-

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

Replaced both mine this year also. Jim rebuilt both. I don't believe he has any of the $160.00 ones left. Great guy really helped me out but when I talked to him last month he said something about retiring. Just info only.

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

the website doesn't work anymore- I had a flywheel question I was researching- but it was down.

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

right which is why I posted the updated info

Re: Clutch fluid low
 

Found my issue.. Slave is leaking round the body.. I will have to get a picture.. good thing I have one spare

Now to find time to fix it

Slave swapped and working. Sent the old one and Master cylinder to Jim. He worked his magic and they are on their way back. I wore out the seal on the slave. Master is an OEM GM part in excellent shape so he rebuilt it for me as well
