I just looked at your build thread, hows the T56 in the truck? Sort of wondering if it still shifts crisp from the middle / front position. I have a T56 in my G-body and it's pretty awesome. The GM hyd throw-out bearing is a bit of a time bomb in my experience, so if that's the route you went I'd look into the tilton T56 hyd throw-out bearing. I will never use a GM one again.

My truck isn't driveable yet...next week. I have only backed it out of the driveway and back in...so reverse and 1st. It is at the shop having exhaust installed and my A/C charged. I should get it back tomorrow or Monday. Then I will be driving it. WOOHOO

I am pretty sure it came with the GM Hyd throw-out bearing. I will have to double check my spec sheet. Yours died quickly? Then you changed to the tilton?
