Slowmover,
Thanks for the encouragement.

Everyone,
Well my weekend just to work on the Suburban turned into barely having any time to spend on it. Got to help some friends and family with a few projects they would have struggled to do alone. I am still driving my tow pig this week.

Was able to get lots of odds and ends things finished up in the time I did have and took it for a test drive. The transmission shifts fine, but the clutch was not releasing all the way, like you had it slightly pressed in constantly. Long story short, I didn’t realize they changed the shape of the pressure plate fingers for the clutches during the transition from the pre 95 and post 96 bellhousing/clutch styles so I reused the old style pressure plate and the new style concentric slave cylinder is too far forward, pushing it constantly. Thus the clutch would slip under high torque, so I have the correct pressure plate on order. Luckily I have some time off around the holidays so by the new year I will have that changed out and hopefully some more progress.
