clutch? Going to be getting a texrailia Oz700 clutch for my vette when the stock clutch goes out. My question is will I have to replace the slave cylinder when putting in the new clutch or is it just recommended that I do??? thanks

It always recommended to change out the slave and pilot bushing when changing clutches. I have a textralia twin myself. Great choice in an aftermarket clutch.
The weakest link in all clutch set-up on the C5's is the hydraulic problems. Unless you turn your own wrenches like me, I would make sure I change it out. I've heard way too many issues with the slave cylinders leaking or just giving out.
While you're at it, throw on a remote bleeder.

I agree, everything is already apart might as well change it. You can get a new one for like $125 so it's not worth it to not change it. Some people also like to change the master cylinder as well. I am in the process of doing it myself. i have a Mcleod twin going in and it came with a new master, so i changed that and put a new slave in.

My thoughts exactly.
