FML Just blew my clutch..... Drove home half asleep...meaning nothing cool was happening.
Pull into my drive way make half a u-turn so I can drive straight out in the AM. I attempt to put it into reverse and it wont budge, I thing strange so I try 1st then the rest...Wouldn't go into ANY gear. Shut the car off, goes into every gear easily.
So, I start it in gear with my foot on the clutch...Yup makes all kindsa noises....
FML.
Atleast I got it home then it felt like giving up. haha
Any suggestions on where to buy the LS7 kit affordably?

We were charging $300 for install which is dirt cheap IMO...
We can certainly source a kit for you- what did you have in mind? What power level are you pushing?

Good price. Sounds like he may have had the throwout bearing/slave fail....either way it's a good time to replace it all. :thumbs:

I'm like 99% certain that the pressure plate had been weak ever since I bought the car, and that is what finally felt like freezing up that night. Strange thing was the next day when I went to move it, I started it in gear with my foot on the clutch. It was making noise, and lurched forward on the initial crank. Eversince I let the clutch out the first time it never gave me a problem? I didn't trust it and pulled it all apart anyways.
Ever since I had it, if I REALLY romped on it you could smell clutch. I had worked my way through all the hydraulics and all that was left was the clutch. (Couldn't afford the clutch while I did the slave). The slave had maybe 2000 miles on in, and when I did it I also removed the factory line and replaced it with a standard steel braided line.
The clutch itself look ok, but the pressure plate and flywheel had heatspots so bad you can FEEL the high/low spots.
