My V finally Feels like a " SPORTS " sedan I just installed :
- stage 3+spec clutch kit with steel fly and the spec slave
- Creative steel motor mounts
- UUC Diff bushing
- Filled the stock trans mount with 80a urathane
My car feels solid. Feels like a totaly diffrent car, between shifts you can just feel the power .. I love it..
The down side is there is slightly more small drivetrain noises/vibration but no more major clunk ..
The clutch
- feels good, Grabby but pedal feels good. It has no chatter but does have a slight bounce/jerk if you let the pedal off to fast. and no more second gear starts...I used the spec salve that was 200$. I tried to first use a F-body slave but the fitings were totaly diffrent. The Spec slave is identical to stock, even has the same part number stamps . The only down side is the Tick bleeder Did not fit. Total for clutch and slave was $950 and the $80 harbor fright jack made it a one man job (but it wasnt easy)
The motor mounts
-Look good, my stock ones were shot. I even have a video of how bad they were. No more rattle during shutdown so im happy. I also wrapped them with exhaust wrap because they are very close to the headers. It will prevent the polly from melting... The downside was I had to remove the Kooks to get them off. Inspector gadget would not be able to get to the bolts on the mounts...
The Diff bushing
-Looks much better then stock, my stock one was shot.
The trans mount , used the 50$ can of 80a urathane (the might mouse way)
The stock one is very soft and flimsy
Cant wait till the spec breaks in so I can realy open the Ls6 up
Now pics and i have a video of the stock fly and motor mount.
Enjoy and feel free to ask questions.

And with the Kooks, they had to be removed to get to the engine mounts.
With the stock headers I hear its doable without removal.

The rubber inside part of the sleeve poped right out . Then I made two very carefull cuts using a saw-zaw in the sleeve about 1/4 away from each other. ( you dont even have to go all the way through )
Then take a flat head screw driver and a hammer and tap the part you just cut.. Few light hits and it will fold right over .

ya the guys at creative said with long tubes it doesnt get as hot and would be ok without a heat shield ...
But I still didnt like how close the mount was..
The header wrap was only 20$ at napa and it cant hurt.
Better to be safe then sorry
