Help!!!

[Dominicnicklyn]

I have no clue why my clutch line is like this

When I got the car my clutch line was off like this and I have no clue if/how to fix it. It seems that it can spin around and that it isn't fully seated on the trans (f35)

How exactly is this supposed to be, hopefully I don't have to replace anything internal just yet.

Maybe I'm just dumb after an extra long day at work but how exactly am I supposed yo get the rear calipers over the pads and rotors?

The fronts have bolts you can remove to slide the calipers overtop but the rears have the shafts to alow the calipers to move around with the rotors.

I'm also looking for a way to mount my zzp AtW intercooler above the engine. I have tube clamps for the chassis but for some reason I can't find anything online for "rod ends" with bars or brackets.

If anyone can guide me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

but the rears have the shafts

You can take those out, they are threaded into the caliper and have a hex for an allen key

It looks like this piece might be missing or broken on yours?

There's a clip that locks the elbow to that plastic piece

Thank you
Would this portion be inside the trans? I haven't dug into the trans yet due to not knowing a whole lot about them.

Yes, that hard pipe goes down to the slave cylinder. I believe there is an access panel you can take off that would let you feel around in there, maybe the black piece just fell down inside.

My first block did that, when I replaced that metal unit and the internal line to the TOB, it didn’t. It’s because the line to the TOB is stretched upward and not pulling that block down to sit in it’s groove.

Also the hex is a 7mm, many allen sets seem to skip that size.

Yeah, idk why I overlooked the possibility of them being able to be removed

Good news is that I should be able go get all the rear suspension together and get the parking brake installed

The clip that locks the clutch line in place goes on this way. GM calls this thing a distribution block.

The circled end of this clutch pipe is on the outside of the transmission, the silver end is inside, and goes to the TOB (Throw out bearing).

The access hole in the transmission isn't very big...

 

[Dominicnicklyn]

I understand now!!

What 2 lines go into the distribution block?
The line from the clutch pedal and ____?

 

[Ross]

The DF line that comes from the clutch pedal goes in the left side of this image,
the top of the image shows a black bleeder nipple,
the bottom of this near the red arrow connects to the clutch pipe that sticks out of the transmission, coming from the TOB.

That bleeder is hard to get to, on a goblin, so a remote bleeder is a nice addition.

You figured out the brakes!, good. A Warning! ??Does the clutch pipe sticking out of your trans look different? The top of the clutch pipe is all rubber and if it is missing on your trans it can be removed from a new clutch pipe and installed on The old one!! That seal is NOT available separately! But it is very special and if missing is worth sacrificing a new clutch pipe to get one! Installing a new clutch pipe would require transmission Removal and Reinstall, very time consuming. Moving the rubber piece over to your old pipe only takes a minute. I learned the hard way!

I'll definitely check it out more in depth tonight. I belive it's the same as the pictures above.

I feel really good now. I have learned alot about the things holding me back from completing the car.
