Well i learned a valuable lesson today about buying used parts and that valuable lesson is dont do it...bought a used ls7 clutch with 9,000 miles on it for my nitrous install....local company today started doing the install and come to find out the clutch isnt even designed to go in a f-body....so not sure what in the hell the seller sold me...so needless to say im out $300....and then had to buy a new ls7 clutch....anyone else ever had anything like this happen to them

i once bought a set of tires off of here, guy told me they were 75%. when they got here they were down to the wear bars. i couldnt even find a shop to put them on.

It is almost always a crap-shoot when buying used parts... There are people out there always trying to scam you... That doesn't mean that there aren't good sellers out there!!!! Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I have been very lucky when buying things used.. The only questionable transaction I had was... I bought a Yank Converter that was supposed to be a Yank SS 4000. When I had it restalled this year, I found out it was a Pro Thruster not an SS. Not so much of an issue because the Converter was in excellent shape!!!

i've only bought a couple used parts and had good luck. like 99LSS1 said, it's a crap shoot.

it just really sucks because i kinda stretched myself financially to get my nitrous install and it really sucks when i get a call saying the clutch doesnt work u need to buy a new clutch....so i had to fork out an extra $300

post up who it is so that you can prevent someone else from buying from him.

did you use the LS2 flywheel like your supposed to? they only make 1 LS7 clutch and it fits F-bodies, you just cant use the LS1 flywheel.

did you tell that person what happened?

NOLE_MERCY984

no because i bought the clutch like 9 months ago and dont remember who i purchased it from.....just now got around to get the money for the install and nitrous set up

this is what i was wondering with the correct flywheel an ls7 clutch fits, im real cautious when buyin used stuff look for a good trader rating.

if it is infact an LS7 clutch, there is no reason it wont fit with the LS2 flywheel.

i think this is a case of the buyer not doing his research and a shop not knowing LS stuff.

they only made one LS7 clutch and it works on f-bodies with the right flywheel.

NOLE_MERCY984

i used the fly wheel that the seller sent me

that doesnt mean its the right flywheel. the LS7 clutch works with the correct flywheel. there is no reason it shouldnt. you didnt get fucked on the clutch, maybe the flywheel but not the clutch.

Yea well if the seller sold this guy an LS7 clutch for an Fbody & he sent him a flywheel to go with it somethings wrong with that picture. I bought one of these on ebay & had no problems. Problem is the buyer waited too long to confirm he got (or didnt get) the right parts.

thats why i said he got fucked on the flywheel. there is no LS7 clutch for a different application. they are all the same. it all comes down to the flywheel as to wether it fits the car or not.
