New GM oem replacement line?

Is clutch hard to push or working normal?

Are you getting a good plug-in on clutch cyliner?
When it blowed was it extra hard to push?

Got any exhaust leaks or add on exhaust pipes?

everything felt normal up till the time it blows
i have had someone say it might be the release bearing or a clutch cable but i am not aware of a cable to check i do have a leak in the exhaust but that did not seam to be the cause to me i noticed the leak when i did a head gasket job 3 months ago and just the problems started this week

Did you use a new GM OEM clutch line to replace it?
If not do so.

If you have a exhaust fix it.
Heat from a leak can damage the plastic line.

Confirm the line is pluged in good to slay cylinder.
If not pluged in good the line will shut off hyd. fluid flow and cause extra high pressure on line.

Make sure pressure plate is not extra hard to push at all times.

If all else fails get a pressure gage on line and watch for extra high pressure.

found a hole in forward exhaust pipe under the heat shield large enough to stick my thumb through going to replace that when i have the money and some one told me that the hose busting could be do to a bad throw out bearing or heat from the exhaust any 2 opinions out there
1 fix exhaust
2 pull tranny and check throw out + clutch
3 Both
any other thought are welcome

Did you not read and or forget to answer my post no 4 ????????????

What kind of line did you use for repair??/////////??????????

Throw out bearing has nothing to do with slay cylinder pressure build up.

As to someone told you who was the someone??????
If you want to go down on the street corner or coffee shop you can find and get a lot of maybe's on repair infomation.

I don't know. It would have to move quite a bit, wouldn't it? Well, I'm curious anyway.

Hey, I thought in stoichiometric combustion there WAS no smell?
