About 6 months ago I did a t56 swap, I have about 5k miles on the swap so far. Today I drove about 100 miles, nothing strange, shifting smooth as ever, driving nice and easy all day. I was getting off the highway 2 miles from home, went to shift and part of the way down the pedal just died. It felt almost like the master pushed right through the firewall or something, but nope. No leaking fluid, no signs of anything wrong, just no clutch. Had to drive home by starting it in gear at every light and rev matching every shift.
I used a rebuilt t56, brand new tick master, brand new perfection/zoom slave, brand new perfection/zoom clutch, resurface GM flywheel. Every bolt torqued to spec, loctite on flywheel/pressure plate bolts, etc.
I guess I have to pull the trans and see, but any ideas? Maybe I popped the slave?
UPDATE (1/2/11 @ 2:49pm):
Got the trans out today. I could see the pressure plate fingers were uneven, which obviously isn't good. My Dad was convinced from the beginning that a bolt was stuck in the pressure plate preventing disengagement. He was pretty darn close, except it was the friction material off of the clutch instead of a bolt:
UPDATE (1/16/11 @ 11:33):
this is my garage, and the new clutch:
it's a Diamond Stage 2 (by TDP) so far I like it a lot
