I was having trouble with a Super T10 in my Chevelle. It worked fine until I drove it for 30 minutes or so. Then it would get hard to get into the next gear, and grind going in reverse. Sounded like a pilot bushing to me, even though it had a new one.
Pulled the trans and clutch, and the pilot bushing was fine, and speced out with input shaft.
Had me scratchin my head, till I noticed one leg of the clutch fork was slightly bent.
While I waited for the new fork to come in, I measured the 3 arms on the pressure plate as best as I could, with a straight edge and a feeler gauge.
One of them was 0.024" lower than the other 2.
Is that close enough, or should I file down the other 2?
The whole clutch assembly has less than an hour on it.
