Clutch / Flywheel Combo Hi - I am running a Z06 lump backed up by a std (I think Camaro flywheel - well presume this because the gbox on the Vette is in the back and not sure you would have a HUGE flywheel back there???). Clutch is a LUK thing ~ 11" - which I hear only bad things about.
All fine 95% of the time but when I do give it 6k + revs through 2nd, 3rd, 4th and into 5th often I do not get to 5th just get stuck between 4th and 5th. Or stuck in a gear and I can't get it out - have to coast for a while then gentle pull it in or try to engage if in between.
Doing my head in.
At first though it could be the release bearing line from here to the master cylinder not being big enough (but pulled engine and changed this to a larger (plenty big enough) bore line - still the same. Is this just telling me the Cluych and flywheel combo is SH&T?
Car is realtively light at 1100kg maybe this makes it worse - though can't think why.
Can someone recomend a reasonably priced light flywheel and much uprated cltch over the LUK junk (Single plate preferably).
Cheers
Jon

Camaro/Vette use same clutch/flywheel bolted to the engine.
Whats the pedal feel like during this problem ?
Does your box use the same spline as a T56 ?
I cant see weight making a difference.
