LS7 Clutch disc question collasped springs? 10,000 miles ago I installed a LS7 clutch / ls2 flywheel setup, upgraded t56 parts, and all new hydraulics. I have some problems now and just tore everything apart, bronze pilot bushing is toast, that explains all the noise. Anyways my LS7 clutch has never slipped and always felt good. My question is on the LS7 disc there are 4 inner springs, 2 blue and 2 yellow. My 2 yellow springs are full collasped. I cannot remember if they came this way or not, should the 2 yellow springs be collasped and loose in their or not?

you know i though it was strange that 2 springs (yellow i think) were loose inside the 2 bigger springs, but that was on a brand new ls7 clutch disc. i believe it's normal. they didnt look collapsed, they just look too short to fit tightly....but centrifugal forces would keep them from rattling.

If it possble for youu to provide a picture of the disc I will be happy to take a look for you. I just want to make sure I understand exactly what you are seeing rather than assume. Thanks!

I left the disc at my parents house but I will see if my dad can take a pic. On the inner hub of the clutch disc there are 4 outter springs and 4 inner springs. Two of the inner springs have a blue stripe and they are 180 degrees across from each other, they are fully expanded. The two yellow springs are full collapsed, they look like a valve spring that is stuck at coil bind. I cannot remember when I installed this if this is how they were.
