Hi Randy,
Alan mentioned that you have a Quartermaster or Tilton style clutch in your 4th gen.

I'm looking at swapping the vette over to a QM 7.25 3 disc cclutch and Hydrolic TO bearing and wanted to know about drivability issues with this set up.

1st, are you using a T56?
is that a syncro tranny and how does your tranny handle the shock?
I assume you use solid discs which are harder on a sychronos tranny then sprung discs.
So I'm worried about that issue.

and How has your driving style changed to get around the paddock and on and off the trailer without constant wheelspin??

Any other issues to tell me?

Thanks
Evan

I use the stock clutch slave cylinder as well......I called Quartermaster when setting it up however, and they have a new button flywheel designed for the T56....

Randy I thought you had to dump all the stock hydraulics?

The flywheel for a T-56 should simplify things.


Based on what you know after installing that clutch, tell me. Can I install a 7.25 or 5.5" clutch and keep all the stock hydraulics? Basically only making a T/O bearing change. [/quote]
Hey Evan and Lonnie....

I use the STOCK slave cylinder mounted on the firewall....there was a braided steel line running from that to the stock clutch....I CUT INTO THAT LINE and put a -3 AN fitting....if I remember ( might have been a -4)....from there I ran more -3 line into the bell housing and into the Quartermaster QM-1 Hydrolic TO bearing.....

There is also a bleed port on the QM-1 that UNLESS you want to remove the tranny every time you need to bleed the hydrolic lines....I ran another -3 line from the port up along the firewall to the area around the resevior....and put a bleed fitting on the end for that purpose....

Lonnie...to my knowledge, you would need the QM-1 to do the job....about a $230 throw out bearing....the rest is hooking it up to the stock slave cylinder and getting proper bell housing to clutch clearance.......

not too hard if you had the proper parts I did not have...
