Clutch install checklist
Clutch install checklist Well, I am getting ready to order a clutch. I made a list up but wanted to check to see if I need anything else before I start ordering. Anyway, heres the list:
ZO6 clutch kit (should be plenty since I am staying bolt on)
01 master cylinder (part # 12570277)
01 Slave Cylinder (part # 15046288)
Should I get a pilot bearing also?
Also, will I still need to do the drill mod?
Thanks

the pilot bearing and drill mod are things you may as well do.. th ebearing will need to be changed eventually and since everything ti comming out it is worht it to do it as well.. the drill mod well.. you don't NEED to.. but many recommend it

you may wanna buy some trans fluid... since you have a 98 get NON-synthetic 
I used Castrol Dex III and seemed to smooth the shifts a bit.. It is worthdraining the trans to make it lighter plus who knows how old it is.. (4.1qts)

i thought the z06 clutch kit comes with clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, and pilot bearing. This is what i've been told a million times. If your doing a clutch install might as well buy a throwout bearing, under $100, and this does not come witht he kit. Drill mod is also needed. Trans fluid, all the tools and should b set.
Ok, I was under the impression that the master needed to be changed also, so is it just the slave cylinder? Also, I am not sure if the kit comes with the pilot bearing, I will check on it. Thanks
Do you have a part number for a throwout bearing?

so is there any advantages of getting the new master cylinder? If not I will just save the money and put it toward something else, like going ahead and upgrading to a Spec 3.
Also, what type of fluid should be used?
Thanks for all the help guys.

you only need a new master if you upgrade to a highend clutch, the stock one will flow enough fluid for the z06 but im not sure which clutches need the master upgraded. i think it may work for the stage 3 just fine, anything above that needs it, not positive on that though. any dextron 3 will work.
I have the Ram model, and it is great!
