Intermittent clutch issue (Page 2/2) Patrick APR 19, 07:12 PM quote Originally posted by 1985 Fiero GT: Interesting, is that cast iron? Might be... I don't recall, and I haven't had to look at it for three years. I'll take a peek at it when I'm out by the car again. Your master is also of the earlier design. That may or may not make a difference in how it operates/feels. 1985 Fiero GT APR 19, 07:32 PM quote Originally posted by Patrick: Might be...

Yeah I know, that's what this whole thread is about, my dad has the later design from rodney, with no problems, with OEM travel and good "feel" mine is the early version which didn't seem to have full travel, but same good "feel" and quality. It unfortunately failed prematurely, which may or may not be connected to the shorter travel. Rodney says he'll try to find an early OEM to compare his to. I know there's nothing he can really do, but if anyone buys that line off him, or he gets it going again, it would be good to make sure that any issues are solved, or at least noted. Once again, I love Rodney's products, in the last year, I have spent... A lot on his site, that $80 master cylinder only added up to 5% of my total purchases, he made a few minor mistakes, but never hesitated to right them immediately, with the only other quality issue being on the shifter boot (might have been damaged in shipping, might have been a poor weld/fluke) which he promptly sent a second one, free of charge. jelly2m8 APR 19, 08:25 PM First design 84 and if I recall 85 are an aluminum body with the fluid port to the rear of the reservoir. 2nd Design was a steel body with the fluid port forward of the reservoir. They can be interchanged, I've always used the 2nd design even on the early cars, you just have to rework the steel clutch line. 1985 Fiero GT APR 20, 01:00 PM Rodney confirms that his early slaves have a 4mm shorter travel then OEM, and is surprised noone caught this sooner, the connection between that and my failure is still speculative, and I am still in conversation with Rodney regarding this.

Did you mean master cylinders? 1985 Fiero GT APR 20, 05:36 PM Yes. I would assume that, I just copied what he wrote without thinking I guess. "I did find an OEM GM master and my slaves do indeed have a sorter travel. 4 mm less. I never checked one to compare. But why has everyone else not had this problem?" Simple typo I'm sure.
