Clutch Replacement 1997 4.3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*TMS* · 02-16-2008, 06:07 AM

I have:
1997 c1500 Cheyenne 4.3L, 5spd
with a clutch that is about to go.

I've helped my buddy swap a couple clutches before and generally know what's involved (or think I do enough to give'r a go).

Is there anything on these trucks I need to watch out for? are there any good specific online resources (pics?).

Anybody out there have a digital copy of the dealer service procedure?

Thanks.

oh yeah... and on top of that, anyone know how to get parts in canada at US prices.... the difference is over $200 ($280 vs. $500)

Parts I cannot help you with.

Changing the clutch was pretty straight forward on my 92. I don't remember anything really special, but it's been 10 years since I did one. I will say I change the slave cylinder on the clutch when I did it and I think (old age setting in) I just did it because I was there and felt it easier to do it then.
