    Making an external slave work with a Ls?

    Over the past few months I’ve been swapping an lq9 into my 95. Finally got to where I thought I was really close just to bolt up the trans and have the slave cylinder interfere with the oil pan. So now I’m at a crossroads, either swap in a 96+ nv3500, convert mine to internal, or go to a t56...

    clutch not disengaging (lm7 + hm290)

    My clutch is not disengaging when I press the pedal in. I did the nfw1050 flywheel and luke 4-201 clutch kit. I can row through all the gears when the truck is sitting still, pressing in the clutch helps a little bit with this. If I fire it up in first gear with the clutch pressed in (I may be...

    97 K3500 automatic to manual transmission

    Guys, I'm converting my 97 K3500 from an automatic to a manual transmission and I have a question about how the interlock for the ignition works.
