Before I get side tracked with my sad story let me ask a question of my fellow Lone Star Classic owners.. With my 428, 3550 tremec and external slave cylinder hydraulic clutch, who makes and what is the part number for the clutch slave cylinder?? I've got a Tilton M/C which is new but the slave cylinder is original.. Now for the drama...
Well .... we are finally getting a break from the 95 to 100 degree temps and today I'm feeling a lil' froggy. It's a great opportunity to drive the Cobra to work today. After all... there's a cool morning, mediocre humidity and 30 miles of dry asphalt beckoning. I slide out to the back garage, go inside to "pre-warm" the Cobra. The garage door will closed so as not to pi$$ off any more neighbors than I absolutely have to. She fires and warms up then I go to put it in reverse and she no wanna go. I pump the clutch a couple times and it slides in to reverse.. I back on out of the garage. ( note to self: If the d#*n clutch doesn't work right the first time, don't drive the darn thing. It needs fixin'.) As I'm driving and shifting gears I notice the shift engagements are getting harder to the point I've got to pump the snot out of the pedal to go into any gear. It got so bad that 4th was the only gear that I could muster enough clutch rod stroke to get into.. Man, was that ever a fun 10 mile drive though lights, traffic and other obstacles. Needless to say, I didn't drive the Cobra and had to drive the daily beater.. my 04 390 rwhp Z06 .. sniff .... sniff...
