A little history,

When I bought this car it had a bad throwout bearing. I fixed at, put in a used 25k mile stock clutch from a buddies car in it with a re surfaced flywheel and a GM slave.

If you ran the car hard through the gears the clutch would stick on the floor in 3rd/4th.

So I put a Tick master in the car, was ok for a while......after this last track event when you leave a stop light the clutch feels like it hangs up on release, slips as you let the pedal out, then when you shift the pedal is low and hard.

Broken pressure plate? Bad slave?

I bled the system, didn't help.


What is a good stock replacement clutch? Don't need a flywheel, this one has less than 2500 miles since it was turned.

If I am gonna go in there its getting a clutch and slave.

Recommendations on a stock replacement clutch?

Differences between Ac Delco and gm slave cylinders? I was told by 2 places that gm and quality slaves are made by a company called Ap. Any input on this?

I called the local Ac Delco parts dealer and asked them to pull one off the shelf and eyeball it, Ac Delco part #386433, and got him to eyeball it and it had the ap logo cast in it.

ACDelco is a GM brand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delco_Electronics The C5 slave cylinder also has AP cast on it. I've always associated AP with british made brake parts, from my Triumph MC days, so I thought odd to see AP on that part.
