I have not found anyone to take over my business. So:

We built a home in Denver. A 55+ community. We have had it for two years now. We go there for a week every two months or so. But we are not happy there. The lot size is minuscule and I only have a smallish 3 car garage. So we are selling it and looking for a different home in the Denver area. An existing home. We do not want to go thru a new build again. We both want a larger yard and most important is I want more garage space. All my life I have been a garage person and I like to make things etc. Ideally we will find a home where I can add on to the existing garage or put in an additional garage. So my plan now is to take my business to Denver.   But: I am not making much of anything anymore in my shop here. I am also not restocking many items. You may have noticed some of my parts are out of stock now. That trend will continue. Once in Denver I will probably just sell out my existing stock and as I run out of things discontinue them. Hopefully this all happens in 2024. Once we start moving out of our home here in Wi there will be a few/several months when I will not be able to sell anything.

This is my new aluminum slave cylinder for the 84 L4 (4 cylinder)  4 speed equipped Fieros.

  • Cast aluminum housing will not corrode like steel and cast iron.
  • Comes complete with a new push rod and new bleeder.
  • Rebuildable.
  • Top quality!

Since the demise of the original GM steel slave cylinders the replacement cast iron aftermarket slaves have proven to be very low quality. My aluminum slave is top quality. It features a double seal on the piston. Includes a new push rod and bleeder valve.

The bore size of the cylinder is 13/16" (0.8125")  or 20.64 mm

 A few ask how long is the push rod? It is 138 mm long.

 

 

Rodney,

I just wanted to let you know that the clutch in my Fiero works right for the first time since I’ve owned it, (17 years). I installed one of your clutch master cylinders with the adjustable banjo rod and the clutch will now fully release. This was the fifth master cylinder, after having installed four slave cylinders, new clutch pedal, new stainless steel line, clutch disk, pressure plate and throw out bearing, all new motor and transmission mounts, and blead gallons of brake fluid through the system. It was nice to know that someone makes a quality part that solves a long time problem that nobody else has tried to address. Thanks,

Ken McDowell

Just wanted to say thank you for your fast shipping and the slave and master cylinder are amazing in person. The pictures dont do them justice. I installed them to day and made a huge difference. Thanks again for your products.

 

 

 

 

An excellent trick to bleed the clutch system:

 

When I changed from an automatic to a Getrag 5 speed I used the trick Bob Hughes suggested many years ago:   Take a clean glass jar (like a mayonnaise jar) with a lid. 1 quart or smaller is OK. Poke 2 holes in the top of the lid. Get some clear tubing from a hardware store. Vinyl clear tubing is cheap. Get 12 feet or so. The ID of this tube should be such that it goes over the bleeder of the slave end snug. Make the holes in the lid of the jar just big enough to allow the tubing to go thru but be a tight fit. Attached one tube maybe 2 feet long to the slave bleeder. Attach the other long tube end to a vacuum port on an engine (I used my truck). Coat the threads of the bleeder screw with some heavy grease or wrap it with Teflon tape so no air gets drawn in past the threads of the bleeder screw.  Start the engine you are using for vacuum and let it idle. Make sure you have someone at the front to fill the reservoir and open the bleeder. The vacuum of the running engine will draw the fluid thru the system. Worked excellent for me when I did it.
