Last night was supposed to be a night to get a lot of work done.
We were gonna
Put the flywheel on
Clutch
Slave cylinder
Transmission
And bolt all that together.
But.
The old release bearing wouldn't come out at all. I went to an auto parts store right before they closed. Rented their tool. And it broke the tool.
So we tried with some 90 degree pliers. And still nothing. It's seized in there and it sucks.
Nothing ever goes as planned

Do you mean the needle bearing in the aft end of the crankshaft that the tranny shaft engages? If it looks ok, put in a little grease and put everything together. The bearing only spins when you sit at a light with your foot on the clutch ....
Also, be sure the face of the flywheel & pressure plate is clean and shiny. Ditto the clutch itself. ONE greasy thumbprint can cause clutch "judder" on engagement -- a real pain in the ...E30-LS1 aka. 357is

Since I have the slave cylinder all hooked up. I'm quite confused since I've never worked on a t56.
Would I need the clutch fork? Shouldn't the slave cylinder do everything? I was looking at it yesterday and was just confusede30Ls1 Swap IG: 1dirty30

When I bought my t56 from Charlotte there was a clutch fork already in it. That's what's confusing mee30Ls1 Swap IG: 1dirty30

That looks like an LT1 T56. You'll need a T56 from a 98+ LS1 F-Body.
The older style LT1 T56 has a revision for a clutch fork on the midplate and uses an external slave to actuate the fork (left).
The newer LS1 T56 has threaded holes to mount the internal slave you have so no fork necessary (right).
Your LS1 style slave won't work with your T56. I'm not sure if the LT1 T56 can be swapped in though. Maybe someone else can chime in.Alpine White 1989 E30 Coupe - LS1/T56

You have the correct LS1-style bellhousing which has holes for the hydraulic lines but the midplate and input shaft will need to be changed out I believe.
I don't have much info on this swap other than these couple links from a google search.
Manual Transmission - Difference between LT1 T56 and LS1 t56 - Is there any difference between LT1 t56 and LS1 t56? I need to buy a transmission for my LS6 and i've found one. Will both be bolt-on or need any other parts? Thanks Kevin
