Direct replacement, you'll need the new flywheel tho.

Hey Brad or anyone else. I jsut bought the textrilla z grip and was wondering does it come with the TOB??

Also, being that i have an 02 T/A, will my stock master be fine with the drill mod? Or should i replace it and do the drill mod?

One more thing, should i jsut get a OEM slave, or should i go with an LS6 slave?

Thanks

yes i have just some jacks and jack stands and i used the car ramps this was on a 2000 z28. as far as tools i used, 21mm or 3/4 for torque arm, i think 7or11mm for u joint, and 15mm 13mm for bell housing (if u want to take it off) and tranny (7/16 for bleeder) same sizes i believe for flywheel and preasure plate thats all i can remember. 20 inch exstenstion a swivel would be a plus. I would also recommend taking the shift box of from inside the car will make clearance a whole lot better for dropping and putting up the tranny

GM manual also states progresively tighten the flywheel to 75 ft-lb, start at 15 ft-lb to 37 ft-lb then final at 75 ft-lb

Diving into doing my clutch this week. With this writeup and the Install University one it shouldn't be that bad. One question though, what tranny and clutch fluids should I be buying/replacing while I'm doing this?

Any Tips on getting the trans to mate up the last inch or so to get the bolts to thread up to the bell housing???

It's a pain in the ***, just wiggle, fight, and cuss it will go in. Just when I almost gave up, it went in. A transmission jack would of helped out big time.

Anybody in chicago wanna make 150 bucks to do this for me if you can knock it out in 4 hours or less, if you have some experience. I think my clutch is going out and will have to do it soon :O Going to do the ls7 and new slave.

I've got this same question. At what mileage is it a good idea to replace the slave cylinder? My car's got 40,000 miles on it and I'm guessing the slave in there is in good shape at the moment. If it isn't leaking will I be safe leaving it alone for a good period of time?

I wish I read this yesterday. I just pulled the tranny with the bellhousing still attached. what a bitch that was!

I'm stuck on this at the minute too man. It's frustrating because the alignment tool slides in and out easy as pie. Well back to try again

What did you guys use to remove the slave? I have pushed int he white plastic ring with a screwdriver and tried remopving it with a pair of pliers.. I have a whole new master and slave ready to go in...

I have the tranny istting on my benchtop right now, and have the ls7 clutch set-up ready to get going and everything... yet this silly slave unit is making me want to cry haha.

SO embarassing,.,. it really cant be this hard to remove...

The tool suggested in the service manual, looks like crap... I dont see why i cant use a screwdriver and push that white plastic in as far as itll go and just slide it off with a pair of pliers,... but OHHH NOO... Im not that lucky.

So when is it necessary to replace the master and slave cylinder? Also, when replacing those, use OEM LS1 or LS6? Except for the rear main seal, what other area we should pay attention to leak?

I'm about to replace the clutch and I don't wanna get stuck in the middle for more additional parts/gasket.

My slave cylinder just went out 74k on the car



I am in the process of replacing the slave cylinder, everything is going pretty smooth besides getting to one of the 8 bolts going from the trans to the bell housing, its the top 15mm bolt on the passenger side, there seems to be a small metal tube running right over it and i cant seem to get a socket on it. has anyone run into this problem? any ideas?
