Title: Hello from California
Post by: TimeWaitsForNo1 on April 13, 2025, 03:44:20 PM
I have just acquired to the best I can gather is a 1997 SCE Diablo Roadster from Shelby Custom Exotics. The clutch is not working. In the notes from the owner he has "Look to get more throw,Remove Master,Slave and Line. This is an Lt-1 with a Porsche G-50. Has any one out there had one of these and why would I need to move clutch hydraulics if the car was driving? Thanks!

It could be that the slave cylinder is bad and not depressing the clutch sufficiently to release the clutch. With a hydraulic clutch if there is not sufficient fluid it won't work properly. As his note said, check everything from clutch reservoir, lines and slave cylinder. Should be easy enough to diagnose.

Hey Thanks for replying. There is a you tube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzOzlre54cI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzOzlre54cI)) .Showing exactly that. I just don't know if it was ever working correctly to begin with. My dad bought it 20+ years ago and I never saw him drive it. He got more interested in a GT 40 build.

So you picked this up from Freddy?  I thought they were going to remove the motor and trans from the car?  I spoke to them awhile back about this car. Congrats I know the guy that actually built that car. I'm in Riverside county about ninety minutes from you.

Freddy? Not that I am aware of. As far as I know it came from Ronald Shelby out of Richland, Washington. Maybe Freddy was in the middle of the deal I don't know. If it comes to him being the builder I've got a few questions.
