Default Installing clutch?

I need instructions, preferably w/ illustrations, on how to install a spec stage III clutch on an 01 camaro ss. I already went to SPEC's website and they had nothing and wont return my e-mails.

go to installuniversity.com or look up a write up jaberwaki did on clutches it will have all the info you need.
but i could tell you right now you will need a new slave probably new master and i think a bigger line to handle the extra hydrolic preasure.

But you will need ALOT of extensions to get the bolts at the top of the bellhousing.

Basic rundown of my install....

-Drain tranny ( less weight )
-Remove driveshaft
-Remove entire shifter
-Tranny jack
-Bellhousing Bolts
-Tranny Crossmember
-Remove tranny

The installation of the clutch is pretty straight forward. Getting it back together is just the reverse..

I believe there is a more indepth writeup at www.ls1howto.com
really hmmmm well wha tdo you know, you learn something new everyday on this site. Yea those belt houseing bolts do suck, he could always try loosening the engine mount bolts taking off the trany braket and lower it a little to get better clearance.
