Bitchin' Stitchin'
This part, GM #14094900, was used in a lot of GM vehicles.
From Fieros, to early '80's to late '90's Corvettes, plus '80's to '00+ (?) Chevy, Pontiac, Buicks, & Olds's with a stick.
And GMT400's.
It's a basic standard generic one-size-fits-all, off the shelf part. Gotta love GM for that kinda stuff. Their frugal methods of using one part in many applications!
Should be available @ any dealership.
Some listings that I've found online say that this is a discontinued part. I don't know why, cause I just walked up to the stealership parts desk & had 2 in a matter of minutes.
'Dorman' also manufactures this part, under their 'HELP' line. It's the first design, though, so definitely pick up 2! Most, if not all auto parts suppliers should be carrying this due to the various number of different vehicles that use this part.
Corvette Action Central apparently has a service bulletin listing a permanent fix for the prob of this part failing.
But I can't find it! I've gone through 640 service bulletins (32 pages!) on that site looking for that fix!
My peepers are bleeding!!!
I would love to find out what that fix is! If someone does come across that, please post it up.
Here's something that I did learn in the interim.
If your truck has a tendency to eat these bushings on a regular basis, the prob is NOT with the bushing!
Excessive consumption is an indication that the clutch slave is on it's way out, if it isn't near death already.
Time to replace it. Along with a new bushing, of course.
