Want LS7 clutch, what do I need: Okay, I have a 98 TA and it is time for a new clutch. I want to go with
the LS7 setup. So, what all should I order to do this job right the first time? Part numbers would be a help also. I have been reading about replacing the flywheel. Would the original work fine, or should that be replaced also? Thanks

You need the following at least.
LS7 clutch kit w/LS2 flywheel (LS1 will not work)
new slave
new pilot bearing just incase
Some always suggest a new master too, but I used my stock 99' master & it still works fine. Never had a issue. If you are already having pedal issues I'd suggest you go ahead & replace the master while your in there. If not, your stocker will be fine.
I also re-used my stock flywheel bolts with some red loc-tite & its been together for over a year & several track passes. Including year round daily driving 300+ miles a week. Not a single issue with my hydrolics or this clutch. It even likes my new H/C set-up.

not trying to hijack, but how have these clutches held up for you guys? i know they are used in a 500 horse car, but im just asking if you have heard of any problems with the z06's or if you have any yourselves. im torn between going with the ls7 or going with a tex...quite the difference in prices. (fyi car is just bolt on right now with spray, cam in future)
