Clutch grabbing at the top

[69importkilla]

So my setup consists of a LS engine with a GM 621 bell and a T-56.

I installed one of Keislers hydraulic TO bearings and its grabbing and releasing at the top of the pedal's travel. Clutch is new. What do you think, need to bleed it some more?

Any suggestions would be helpful...

Thanks!

Curious why you would use a 621 bell on a T56 when the T56 bell works fine with the LS motor?
And did you shim the throwout bearing correctly?

It's because he has a D&D Viper T56, I suspect...

If the clutch is releasing at the top, that is not a bad thing. It means that the TOB is right by the clutch spring fingers and as soon as you start to press the clutch pedal the clutch is beginning to disengage. I would be more concerned that the bearing is traveling too far. You may want to install a pedal stop.

Sorry guys for the late response, I was at the All GM Nationals in Carlisle, PA..

Andrew you're right it is a D&D tranny. You're statement makes me feel a bit better, I measured everything according to Keislers instructions and being a machinist, I feel I know my way around that type of thing ( hopefully )!

I just am not thrilled about the height of the clutch release/engagement, I would prefer something closer to the floor...
