SSmokin, You can get the bearing through any Dealer but I am sure that a number of the Forum sponsors have this part as well. We carry them and if you would like pricing feel free to PM me. As for the LS7 clutch, remember it is really not that different than your stock assembly in terms of capacity. It still uses a stock organic disc and has very little increase in clamp-load over your current set-up. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks,

The best way to check is to pull the trans out, its not hard my budy could take his out in 1/2 hr. Also if it is a throw out bearing it would make the noise any time you pushed on the clutch pedal, if it makes the noise when the clutch catches it sounds like you may have some chatter. It is hard to diag with little info on what it sounds like.

Actually, bearing noise will generally be there with the pedal out...when the pedal is depressed it will load the bearing thus eliminating the noise. Chatter is a seperate sound, generally heard when releasing the pedal and beginning to move from a stop in 1st gear or reverse.
As for the clutch I recommend it really depends on the power you are making. Let me know and I will be happy to make a recommendation. Thanks,

Why assume the worst at this point? I suggest pulling the trans and checking the bearing. If it is a bearing issue then it is cheap and easy to fix. While it is apart you can check the clutch too. If you would like to send me pics of the assembly I will be happy to take a look at it. You can email me at Jeremy@specclutch.com. Thanks,

Hey man did you ever get this fixed I think I have the exact same issue and think mine is chatter. I dont get it very often at all unless im doing a slow take off when the clutch is starting to grab. In 2 weeks im doing headers and suspension/brakes but not sure if I want to check it out then since I have limited time to work on it.

Chatter and bearing noise are pretty distict. that being said chatter occurs when you are leaving a stop in first or reverse. It is often described as a pulsing or juttering that happens near the height of the clutches engagement. Bearing noise as I described above is a sound that will be there when the pedal is out (ie completely released). Let me know if you have any further questions about the difference.
