What parts of the clutch are needed, the PP, disc and flywheel? Or just the PP and flywheel?
Thanks.

I just got my flywheel and pressure plate back from the machine shop. He said that you do not balance the flywheel. Something about it being balanced to the motor. You just balance the pressure plate to the flywheel.

what do you mean??? I have a 00 LS1 and he knows it. I'm all confused again. This is an OEM flywheel and he said it is not perfectly balanced for a reason. So your saying that on my LS1 the flywheel should be perfectly balanced? Why is he saying otherwise? That's this guys job at the machine shop. He balances everything.

Sorry, I dont know about the LS1s. I had this problem with my LT1 and had to pull the tranny back out to balance the flywheel. Yeah, listen to the guy that does it for a living. Sorry for the confusion
