Is my clutch slipping?? Hey all
I currently own a 2001 Z28 M6 with the ZO6 Clutch. The car currently has 13000 miles on it and has been run at the track (street tires only). Reciently I have noticed that it does not pull as hard thru frist and second. The rpms tend to be a little higher (500 rpm diff) and the shifter is not as crisp. It feels like it is slipping but I have never replaced a clutch so I dont know what a worn out one feels like. Could it be my 10 bolt? I do not hear and noise and it does not tend to spin the tires as easily off the line. I have bolt on mods nothing over 400 hp. If my clutch is bad which one should I purchase? I have purchased a stage II blower from ATI, heads, cam and long tubes.
Sincerely
Ian

Re: Is my clutch slipping?? I think most would say, find a hill, drop it into 6th and see if it slips and the RPM's tach wayyy up. If so, def time to replace it.

I replaced the clutch in my 01 formula after i smoked it with a line lock at 5000 miles. I replaced the stock clutch/flywheel/pressure plate with an LS6/ZO6 clutch/flywheel/pressure plate (GM Part Number 12570281, $260 from gmpartsdirect) and ALL of the parts were IDENTICAL.
