But you will miss the tire lifting feeling from launching in first!

 

So I have everything done. Started up my truck and I can’t shift it into gear while the truck is running. I have the pedal all the way to the ground. Brand new slave, master, and clutch kit. I shifts into gear flawless while turned off. Any ideas? Shims? I haven’t seen many adjustable masters for a truck.

 

You can bleed all you want but more than likely you will either need to do the hack that Axe Kick did or install a new master like I did. GM part number 24242325.

If you already do have the new master installed then try gravity bleeding or using a mitty vac.

 

It's so cool to see so many people have done this swap!

 

There is not a picture with that number when I search it. So I attached the one I bought, it was brand new. So if you don’t think it’s the master then I’m left with his hack or gravity bleed.

 

the only difference is a longer pushrod. you could try the hack first and see if that helps any. if it does you can keep the hack or change out the master.

 

Been picking up a lot of gear oil smell in the suv. Only when going down the highway and with the windows down. I took part the console and found out the shifter stub seal and boot for the core shifter were broken!! I don't know if this is a common issue but they dont have more than 5k miles on them.

I also did some fiberglass work today and came up with a console lid that lets you use the stock core shifter handle. It looks ok but it needs a gauge. If I cut a hole for the gauge it might remove too much material from the fiberglass work though? We will see. It's just a mock up.

 

Do you like the Hurst shorter? I have heard very mixed reviews on it. But if it fits with that console I very well might try it.

 

Meh. The shifter is OK. I am not sure if I would get it again. It throws pretty easy and looks pretty cool. There are actually 3 versions of the shifter because there are 3 different lids for the nvg4500. you have to read up on the website and pay attention or you will order the wrong one. my first one had the longer stub and didn't fit.
