LS7 clutch install????
thnx...well what should i do now, because i took it to a shop, and now that its in, it doesnt want to get into gear ESPECIALLY reverse....the guy was telling me that i need to buy a newer corvette slave cylinder and have a shim made, but besides that they basically dont know what to tell me....my car is in worse shape as far as driveability now, than it was before i took it there....

I just did mine and couldn't figure out why I had no pressure or clutch feel. I didn't know there is a gasket that needs to be used til I got a napa slave and there it was in a baggy instead of that autozone crap. I don't know anything about needing a spacer/shim with this install. The other thing I found out is that the rubber resivor cap seals air tight and is very hard to pull off once I bleed the air from the hydraulics. Im using a new s10 master cylinder I installed last winter but after doing the tranny rebuild, new slave, and ls7 this was the first time I have ever noticed my resivor cap seal so tight. I have never trusted shops and for good reason for one most will lie up a storm to get it in and figure it out then. You would think that they would know how to bleed the slave. Also, if you install the slave a little off you can't get a socket on the bleeder screw. Yeah, I learned that lesson and pulled the tranny to fix it. What flywheel are you using anyways a ls2.

They are self adjusting and you dont need a shim or anything. I am running all 01-02 hydraulics you need to get too along with new pilot bearing. When i 1st put it in it would engage at the very bottom of the the floor and it slowly adjusted itself to the top of the pedal. Also you can try bleeding it some more.
