Default can you make a ls1 have an old style cable clutch?
it seems i'm having to put a new clutch in my 01 ws6 every summer. when i drove a mustang i added a new zoom clutch and it took everything + nos and never went out on me. can i make my ls1 a cable clutch like my stang was? thanks

ah, but we could design one that works and then sell it to every ls1 owner. Trust me, if you build it, they will buy it.

robinator is right, if someone built and perfected a cable set up for the ls1's...and they marketed it right...thats a rich man. mccloud would be a little pissed off too

This seems to plague every LS1 M6 owner. Why has no one come out with a cable conversion yet?
