Maintenance / Noisy tranny/clutch????

« on: June 05, 2016, 12:49:05 AM »

Hi everyone!!!  I just re-built my M-22 trans and is coupled with a newer Center Force Dual Friction clutch.  Put it all back together, and it making this "rubbing" or "chatter", squeaky noises.  When driving, it appears to stop for a moment.  Then it starts again.  When I take it out of gear and coast, it is still making noise.  Where do I look??  Does tranny have to be pulled again??  If anyone out there has had similar problem, feel free to chime in and advise the best remedy for this.  Hope to hear from somebody.  Thanks all......

Maintenance / Clutch Grind when shifting to "reverse"

« on: May 01, 2016, 05:36:11 PM »

Hello everyone!!  I have a question for you Camaro Gurus.  I own a 1969 Camaro SS/RS with a 396/375 engine.  Just totally rebuilt tranny (M-22)  Newer clutch assembly also.  Centerforce dual friction clutch set-up.   Problem I have is that when car is shifted into reverse, I get a little grinding on gears.  When car is cold, this doesn't happen.  Seems to be more noticeable when car is at running temp.  We adjusted the free-play out of clutch and it still tends to grind now and then.  When I put 4-speed in first before going into reverse, this seems to help.  But still, its not right.  Any clutch experts out there, any info you can shed on this issue would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for listening.......

General Discussion / 1969 RS Headlight Problems

« on: November 20, 2014, 03:56:58 AM »

Hi Guys!!   I have a 1969 Camaro RS/SS.  As you all know the RS package included "hide-away" headlights.  My issues include: Doors close to slow or won't close all the way. I've read that repo vacuum canisters are to long. If this is correct, you can't adjust.  I have all new vacuum lines.  Vacuum seems to be good.  Checked vacuum line placement at "switch".  I plan on removing assemblies and starting over.  Any additional info would be helpful.  State problems you have had with this set-up and what you did to correct it.
Thanks a Bunch!!     Don

« on: November 09, 2014, 02:50:29 AM »

Hello everyone!!!  Would anyone know if the lug nuts on Camaros are suppose to be "plated" or just be a "raw lug"  The reason I ask is, because I bought a real set that have the three (3) diamond symbols stamped on them.  It looks like he wired brushed them, but I don't want them to rust.  Any info will be helpful.  Thanks guys!!    Don
