In the first week of owning the lt1 formula it broke. Finally was able to see why it broke....

I just wish parts would have arrived sooner. I could FINALLY be driving it today... but alas, I must wait till Thursday...

Jesus, what did you do to it?

The C70043 stamp on the pressure plate tells me that the clutch kit is an aftermarket LT4 from China rather than an OEM Valeo. I don't think it matters, though. I beat the hell out of my MIC kit and have never had a problem with the throw out bearing.

LOL I was actually in traffic when it happened. I think the PO had installed the clutch wrong or just beat on it with a wet stick.

either way I have all new parts, and just dropped off the flywheel for a refinish. Hopefully all the ducks line up for a Thursday re-install.
