Default Just bought me a Vette!

Hi guys,

I just bought a 1994 Vette that obv has an LT1 in it. Its a 6 speed so I believe thats a T56. Exterior is 9.8/10, the interior is 7.5/10, but not for long. My father has the identical car only in an auto.

But heres the deal, it needs a clutch and a flywheel. I was told that these have a dual mass flywheel set-up that is basically junk. The clutch in it is new, but he didnt change the flywheel. It chatters quite a bit. I would like to drop a whole new set-up into the car with a single mass flywheel and wanted to know what you guys would recommend.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike I don't have an answer for you. Have you tried the CF?
I agree that is one of the best C4 colors ever.

I haven't tried much other than swinging into a local tranny shop who couldn't come up with anything for me. He said he specifically uses LUK clutch components and they don't give part numbers for direct bolt up applications. And thanks for the complements!

What color is the interior? LT1 vettes are the ultimate in under-rated performance cars.
