Do I have to upgrade them? Is it somthing you must do? Is that the only thing you have to upgrade? Im thinking of geting a ZO6 clutch kit.

You dont have to, its just highly recommended. GM upgraded the slave cylinder for the '01-02 year model cars.

What would be the upside if i do and the down side if i dont

So i can get the GM 01-02 slave & master and it will be fine. Will it shift easyer 2nd-3rd shift

The drill mod will probably help the 2-3 shift, either that or a good shifter.

From my understanding, the updated hydrolics in the 01-02's can handle more power and are more reliable. Its a bad feeling when the slave goes out on you and the clutch sticks to the floor and your car locks in gear. Went through it a few times.

Im sure somebody can explain it to me, there are a ton of threads about it on here, try searching and see what you come up with.

If you allready have the upgraded slave then I would say reuse them unless you are having issues now. I have the Ram hd setup on mine with stock items mentioned and have zero problems. I also did the drill mod too.

I'm upgrading mine, read enough post on this to covience me to do this. It will difinetely help with the shifting.

I have a 2000 T/A so i got the old slave. Can i just get the slave, and do the drill mod. What do you mean by shim the slave?

It may be enough to get by, but maybe not...the newer master and slave handle more fluid volume and the drill mod removes the restriction in the line so just doing one or the other won't net the same benefit. I would go ahead and do the master and slave (and drill mod too!) if you can.

I upgraded the master and slave on mine as well as drill modded it over 2 years ago. My Spec 3 is crapping out already (about 19K out of it) and I'm getting the LS7 clutch this week.

Thanks for everyones help sounds like i'll be get the slave and master and do the drill mod. Does any one know anything about the 02 zo6 clutch? Im thinking about that clutch.

Just replace the master and slave, or you will be sorry 5k miles down the road when one takes a **** and you're pulling the trans to get it out. It's moreso preventative maintenance...just the smart thing to do.

The 02 Z06 clutch drives just like stock. IMO if I were doing a clutch I would go with something more aggressive that a stock clutch but I do a lot of drag racing.

From what Ive read on here ... LS6 Z06 clutch upgrade isnt worth the $$$ as it cant handle much more then stock power.

Go with an LS7 setup

TRANSAM_2000

iTrader: (6)

The LS6 clutch is alot cheaper i can get the clutch kit, master and slave for the price of a ls7. Im not going to get more than 360-380hp. So that ls6 sould be gine right correct me if im wrong. What is a clutch a good clutch taht is cheap and can handle about 380hp

IMO, an LS6 clutch can't handle stock LS1 power on a nice day at the track. Your clutch choice not only depends on your hp levels....but also how you drive the car.

I have a stock LS1 clutch and does ok at track its got 67,000 mile on it and its just now slipping in 2nd if i lauch hard a the track.

TRANSAM_2000

iTrader: (6)

OK maybe the ls7 clutch will be better. Ill just have to save a little more $$$ and get the clutch that will handle the power

TRANSAM_2000

IM having my wifes tranny rebuilt because it grinds in 2nd so its going to be alot of money getting it rebuilt and a new clutch,master and slave. She deosnt drive it hard all the time mybe the ls6 clutch will hold just fine but my car is going to get the ls7 when it needs one. This is two cars im going to be puting clutchs in. (her T/A 99, my T/A 00)

You must drive like my grandma

jk. You are lucky then. My car w/ 47k on it couldn't bare one pass without slipping AND sticking to the floor by the end of the pass.

Now I have a Ram HD, billet steel FW, and the drill mod. We shall see.

I dont drive the **** out of it everyday. Ill get on it hard a few times on the way home from work or when im following my buddys in there f-bodys. On the street it wont slip that much or if any at all.
