AJ Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 what does the clutch pedal feel like? those are manual linkage so make sure the rod is still hooked up, they had a pretty heavy return spring on the pedal. there are a lot of places that sells TKO 5 speed swaps. you can also swap a LT1 style T56 into it. there is also a company that sells a bell housing that uses the manual linkage on the TKO transmissions.

ansonivan Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 If the car was parked somewhere damp you might have a layer of rust built up on the pressure plate/flywheel causing the clutch not to disengage. Have you tried starting it in gear with the clutch pedal depressed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 make sure nothing is in front of it before you start it in gear just in case. http://www.pro-touring.com http://www.lateral-g.net both places with tons of info. its in the sponsor/vendor section about the bell housing.
