ZF Clutch removed
I finally removed the bell housing, press plate, clutch and flywheel. I'll do my best to get the new components up by COB Sunday.
Remember I mentioned that the tranny had a "humming" sound while at idle and it would go away if I press the clutch? Well, the fork was about 90% loose. Funny, that "screw" screws backwards.
Should I replace the clutch slave?

i see clutch replacement in my future! post more pics if you have them. Also i notice also when sitting at stop lights some times i hear a rattling noise comming from the tranny, but as soon as i depress the clutch pedal it goes away? If that is the fork, how do you go about adjusting it.

I just went through this myself recently. My problem turned out to be the fork ball stud locking bolt broke allowing the ball stud to self adjust. I put in a new clutch/pp/to bearing/pilot bushing while I was there as I don't want to do that job again anytime soon. I have lots of pics in my posts:

I installed the clutch and put the tranny back up. The biggest challenge I had was to put the tranny on the jack. why? Because I don't have 6 ton jack stands. To place the tranny on the jack from underneath the Vette was bad. I had no problems with aligning the spline, the shifter or the beam.
