Scattershield options

[pcf_mark]

I have an early T56 with the pull clutch design and I do not have any options for a scattershield that I have found. I have seen a fabric blanket used on auto trans drag cars to contain a failure.

Any idea what I may be able to use?

I wouldn`t worry too much, you will probably blow up the trans long before you blow a clutch...........

Not sure what a pull clutch is but this might get you in the ball park...

You can also go to "americanpowertrain.com" for lots of info on tko and t56 stuff.

EDIT - Here it is http://www.americanpowertrain.com/gm/transmissions/ScattershieldGM.html
scroll down a bit and hopefully that will be the application you are looking for.

Check out Quicktime.

I think they have what you want -Part# RM-9023 SB/BB/LT1 to LT1 T56 Transmission, but give them a call to be sure. Good people to work with.

I am using one of their 168 tooth bellhousings on a BB/ROD install, nice piece, very light, and much better tolerances than the old lakewood I had before.

A pull type clutch works just thw other way around from a push type. With a pull type the slave is mounted rearward and the clutch fork pulls on the diaphragm instead of pushing.
The C4 ZF6 speed is a pull type too.

Nice quicktime has a SF spec bell for my ZF...and it ain't too pricey either.

Maybe Forte's has what you need, didn't check...but they do have all kinds of neat billet stuff and neat hydraulic slave mounts.

I have a push type clutch but not the OEM slave and master. Maybe this is why my pedal effort is brutal..I wonder if a std T56 shield will work in my application?

I would like to use a scattershield because my engine makes some power and the flywheel is 40 years old and has been resurfaced at least twice in that time and it has a some 11 second passes on it :yahoo:. Who knows how bad it was treated before I tortured it with street driving.

Thanks for the link, I'll go shopping!

I agree on the Quicktime. My Mcleod was so out of spec I couldnt use it.
