Default New clutch

I just ordered my LS7 clutch earlier today. Now all I need to buy is a new master cylinder, slave/TOB, & pilot bearing right? It should also be for a 01/02 model? Is there any sponsors that sell the GM parts?

all the GM hydraulics are the newer models, they don't sell the old models anymore, but I just bought mine the other day from sdpc. most of the sponsors do have them though.

Make sure and do the drill mod while you've got everything apart

tob bearing and pilot bearing are one and the same. You dont need a new master if youre stock one was working fine. Slave would be a good idea to replace though.

Incorrect...throw out bearing is on the slave cylinder and is crucial to engaging/disengaging the clutch. The pilot bearing is pressed into the rear of the crankshaft and the input shaft of the tranny slides into it.

Incorrect also. You can buy the TOB separate of the slave...it's just so expensive for the TOB alone, that for a few extra dollars you can buy the new slave that has a new TOB included.

I just ordered my LS7 clutch setup Monday with new master, slave, pilot, ARP hardware, and alignment tool from SDPC. I got everything for $708.00 with free shipping. They are great to deal with.

I am sure it wont happen to you but i recommend revving that thing up past 6k and try shifting, soon after you get it. After you feel comfortable beating on it some. I bought a ls7 clutch and it didnt have the code stamped on it to make it eligible for a factory defect of its inability to shift at high rpms. I never could shift at high rpms, clutch pedal would go to the floor.
FYI it was NOT ordered through anyone on this post.
