Clutch Replacement?
I have a 2000 Z28 with T56. The clutch has just started to slip in 6th gear when you hit it hard to pass someone. Car is stock except for a tune and SLP lid and future mods may include and actual dyno tune and freer flowing exhaust so not looking to get too crazy, just a nice fun driver that I can go anywhere in.
My question is what would yall recommend for a clutch and what would you replace? I am thinking the clutch, flywheel and throw out bearing. Would it he worth it to put a new slave cylinder in it too?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

all have their opinions, but after reading for the past 3 days, & calling 4 LS specialty shops in northern cali, & seeing here on the forums & over at LS1DOTCOM i'd say 60% of people with complaints/problems/issues with the ls7 clutch vs 40% with no problems with it, I opted against it. You being at stock power, i would recommend the LUK gold ls1/ls6 clutch kit - it's quite more reliable than what came on the car from the factory if you plan on going not much more than either a mild cam or heads (one or the other). Anything more than that you plan on doing, don't even bother with an ls7 or a stage 1 monster. Do it right the 1st time if you DO plan on going over 400ish at the wheels and spend the $50 extra bucks for the monster stage 2 - read up on how both Tick & monster compare the stage 1 to the ls7 & it will easily make you think "geez screw the ls7", & also read how they compare the stage 2 to the stage 1 & it will make you think the same about the stage 1 !!! i sh*t you not - go to both of their sites & read up on all 3. That & how many people have nothing but trouble with the Ls7 steered me away from it 100%. - LUK GOLD ls1 kit for stock to full bolt ons, monster stage 2 for anything above that - this is my "very well informed after extensive research" opinion.
