Default Need help with explanation of additional parts for ls7 clutch

i bought the ls7 clutch kit with the ls2 fly wheel. What other parts do i need? Could y'all explain what the parts are/do?

The car is daily driven, not track visits, little to no street racing, so i dont need some high performing set up.
Thanks.

oh yeah do i need to change a gasket near the drive train? Or any gasket for that matter? My uncle just told me that a gasket has to be changed but he cant remember which one

The only thing I changed was the slave because I went with a RAM big bore slave. I reused the stock bolts aswell, didn't shim anything and also reused the stock bearings. But my car only has 35K on it.

T/O bearing = Throw Out bearing....it is a part of the slave. Just order a whole new slave set....also the pilot bearing is another part down there that experience wear...you can order the heavy duty one used on the diesel trucks or the standard one...either way you want to go.

Simply put you need...

1 GM Slave Cylinder (it will come with the TO Bearing)
1 GM Pilot Bearing or Bushing

You may want...

An 1/8" spacer behind your new slave
A good transmission jack, or you'll be hating the whole install/removal

I've never used new bolts, and I've been through 192k miles and on my 4th clutch.
