At home clutch install, any tips? I'm now starting to gather parts for my next major project on the C5, new clutch and gears.
I will be doing all the work myself on jackstands in my 2 car garage.
Plans right now include:
McLeod twin disc with aluminum flywheel from Raging Motorsports.
New GM slave cyl.
4.10 gears and hardened output shaft from East Coast Supercharging.
Anybody have some tips and tricks, or lessons learned?
Thanks,
Eric

Re: At home clutch install, any tips? Pilot bearing and the tool for getting the old one out.
Be sure and have the assembly balanced at a machine shop. Drill out the restrictions in the hydraulic lines.
Don't throw away the stock master cylinder until you remove the o-ring. Bleed the system from the master cylinder with a mity vac.
