ZF throwout arm pivot bolt fixed
After having the throwout arm pivot bolt in my ZF backout, and then doing the tear down and fix. I got it back together and no more issues.
Just so you all know, that when the throwout arm bolt backs out of the bell housing the little retaining bolt breaks. I decided to buy a new pivot bolt and retaining bolt. I guess GM sent all these to their obsolete parts vendor. Not cheap.
I used loctite to prevent a recurrence.
I have never had so much fun as installing a ZF transmission in my driveway by myself. Just me and my motorcycle jack.
Had to take it for its smog check and the guy remembered me from 2 years ago. He said he doesn't see too many 85 vette's with 96 bumpers on them.
