Hey Bro! I don't know much about LS1's or their clutches, but I'm an overall pretty good mechanic....and I just happen to also be living on a boat, in Norfolk. Pier 14 to be exact! I would be glad to help anytime.
Gimmie a call if you want help, or just hang with other car junkies!

I'm on the USNS Kanawha TAO-196...an MSC oiler. We should be here for another week or so, then heading out to play duty oiler. In on the weekends, out during the week. I have a 2000 Ford Lightning. I mostly hang out here to bust on Noyzee and that crew.

How bout that weather last night???? It took people 2 1/2 hrs to get from the pier to the main gate!!!!

yea, i know. i was one of them. i went over to a sewing shop by base to drop off my peacoat and have a crow sewn on..ive always been stationed in pensacola before here, so i never had to wear it, but i need it now. lol. so i figured id change my oil at the hobby shop while it was getting done. i got on base and got about halfway to the hobby shop and decided it would take too long, so i turned around....took me FOREVER to get off base. driving in the sno/ice sucks too. i was feathering the clutch, barely giving it gas and i was still sliding around
