Default I have a T56 out of a 2000 Camaro

in mine and never had a problem. Run the GM hydraulics and you will not have a problem there either. If you do go with the GM stuff, make sure you do the "drill mod" or get an aftermarket line.

Would a new Quick Time housing be best all said and done? I had to go with an adjustable throwout bearing to gain proper free play, kit piece was too long. GM hydraulic system would be nice but I have no issue with the feel of the mechanical linkage. ATS cross-member though expensive would have made my install much easier. To obtain clearance to alter drivetrain angles I'd plan on cutting the top out of the tunnel and fabbing a new piece, ideally with an access panel, I'm guessing 1.5" taller with your lower body mounts should give you clearance......assuming the tail ends up low like mine and there's enough bellhousing clearance.

Default As explained above is how too

The "why" is GM put a restriction in the factory line. When you are really using the clutch the fluid does not have time to flow back quick enough and sometimes cause a slow release. 1/8 drill bit, flush it out and you are golden. Aftermarket or home made lines do not have this line restriction. Took me maybe 10 minutes to do the entire modification.
