Default Throwout Bearing for LS7 Setup

Hey everyone

I'm kinda new to the clutch arena, and am looking at a LS7 setup. This might be common knowledge to some people but..

When ordering from GMParts Direct the

LS7 Clutch/PP
LS2 Flywheel

What about the throwoutbearing, etc.? Is there anything else needed to install this on a 02 ls1?

Search didn't reveal much about the throwout.

Thanks.

I didnt get a throwout bearing with mine, I got the clutch/pp and flywheel, not the entire kit from a sponsor.

I used a stock throwout/slave with my ls7 clutch, but i've been wondering if the ls7 slave is different.

Finally someone with same question as I have. It sounds like the LS7 hydraulics are different including master and slave cylinder. I saw one post where corvette guys were using LS7 clutch and flywheel with C5 hydraulics, meaning that the same may be able to be translated to Camaro/Firebird in the the hydraulics and thus the slave need to be LS1/LS6 type. Keep in mind that the LS7 and LS2 flywheel are identical and same gm part number. I called scoggins and you can get the complete kit with throwout for about $399 and clutch and flywheel wout throwout for about $340.
We need more info to verify if my theory is correct, that the LS7 slave/throwout will not work on an LS1 meaning I will go the route of purchasing the LS7 clutch and flywheel and not the clutch package.

From every thread I've read and based on the parts I ordered, the stock T/O bearing works without upgrading. Not sure if the LS7 T/O is better or the same, but the upgraded LS1 slave and T/O works. I haven't installed mine yet, but basing this info on the many threads on this board of people that have installed it. Here's a list of what I purchased from Fred's. I already have the upgraded master and no the slave and T/O bearing doesn't come with the clutch kit, it has to be purchased seperately. The clutch kit only consist of the pressure plate and clutch disc, no flywheel or slave or T/O:

ls7 clutch kit---------24233650 $300.67 (New # is 24236500 $287.09)
ls2 vette flywheel----12571611 $178.00
slave clyinder and T/O bearing --------15046288 $107.45
ls1 pilot bearing------14061685 $9.53

total ------ $595.85
