Hello,
I’m working on swapping an nv4500 into my cucv. I bought a bell housing and slave cylinder bracket from AA. The bracket is designed to be used with 85-91 gm truck slave cylinders. However, my LUK slave doesn’t work. When bolted up and fully compressed it’s too long overall. The throw out arm is fully depressed and the TO bearing is riding on the end of the bearing retainer.
AA said they’ve had issues with this since changing pushrods. I think worst case I can cut the pushrod down AND space the slave cylinder off the bracket, but I’m wondering if anyone has found a slave that works with the bracket as is.
For now, I’ve shortened the pushrod and dust boot, as it was bottoming out too.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
