Jon/Joey-----several people know on here I've been searching for a 10.9x slip for my 2000 FRC Corvette. I happen to have the tex 0Z700 single disc, GM updated slave and master with the drill mod paired with my MGW shifter. I sat here for 30minutes and read through this entire post even the BS part LOL. I'm looking at alot of things to push the car to that magical 10second range NA before I go bottle. I keep saying the shifting is my hold back. I'm curious of a couple things before I decide what to place my order for.
1) After drilling the fire wall on my Corvette and for any reason I want to back to stock with the master cylinder have I hindered that by the drilling? Is it permanent after that? Or will a stock master go right back in no problem? I know that was a couple questions in one sorry about that.
2)Bleeding this system. I LITERALLY HATE DOING THAT WITH MY car LOL! I dont have the remote bleeder system. However I'm a packrat and have hte stock Slave sitting there. Could this be a potential easier way out to do the following. Install everything in the car minus connecting to the slave. Fill the system as described and gravity bleed. Then hook up my spare slave and bleed through there. Disconnect and connect to the slave in my car with no further bleeding or issues? I know this is a long shot but thought i'd throw the idea out there.
3)Price---PM me
I like what you are doing and I really hope this becomes a great product. I've never had a clutch last/grab/shift as good as my textralia does. I have 80 track passes on the car and about 25-30 of those passes are 1.5x 60fts down to several 1.50's.
Thank you Blu for sending me the link on corvetteforum to this. I"m really on the ropes to spend the money on this product. But i'm down to thinking electric waterpump and removing the passenger seat and retune for the 10's. I hoestly feel theres a 10.8x at 127mph if I can shift the car the way I used to shift my Fbody down the track. FLOOR AND SHIFT!!!!!!!!

The drilling is done only on the stock pedal assembly, and if for some reason you ever wanted to take the cylinder back to stock, you'd be able to without issue.2) Bleeding can be done by the gravity method most of the time. Just have an assistant hold the valve in at the end of the line while someone keeps the resevoir full. A few pumps of the pedal may be necessary to get the flow started. Hooking up an old slave is a very good idea....thats something ive never really even thought about.
3) The price for the vette unit is $289.99
Sorry for the delayed response. Somehow Jonathan and I both overlooked your post.

Not a complete guide, but this gives an idea of what you need.

Hi, My clutch is an OZ700 textralia. It started out shifting hard at WOT, now it is hard to shift all the time. Im running a twin turbo, swapped the slave at install, swapped the master after it started shifting hard, helped a little but not enough to totally fix. A local Corvette guy said he thinks the clutch is not disengaging. Will this fix my problem?

This has cured EVERY car that we've installed it on that previously had a Textralia shifting issue.

hmmm... 300 dollars is a bit hard to swallow....
im having the same exact problems with my mcleod street twin. it shifts great as long as im not at high RPM's. the second i try and shift the car fast after being WOT and high RPM's it hits the "wall" and wont go into any gear. it also seems like its not a huge fan of downshifting lately either. Has a fresh rebuilt t56rebuilds tranny in it.
how many people have confirmed this works?

I think the price is right!
Ordered mine last week and should know in a week or two. I have heard from a few people that they work very well. Can't wait!!

It works!
Just search the topic and their are quite a few write ups and reviews. Mine had the same problems as yours making the car impossible to run at the strip, now I can't keep the car off the strip.
BTW I was also the test car for this part so it was made using my car to fix your exact issue.

hrmmm... it just kinda seems nuts that this single piece is more than the entire hydraulic system retail from GM.... i can get the slave and master at my hook up cost for like 180 dollars.
i might bight the bullet on this though.

Hard to believe you are complaining about a $300 part that will fix your main issue making the car raceable again. You comparison is like me saying why is a Textralia clutch and flywheel $1000 when you can get a GM LS7 clutch and flywheel for $450. They are both just clutches and flywheels why do they differ in cost so much?
