losing this bearing on track could cause major damage. I have not had a problem but don't want to. This is for Katech's LS9X clutch.

Hey Jim, that assembly is using a Tilton slave - we have made a few of those over the last couple of years. Before install you need to make sure that the Tilton master does not flow too much fluid to over extend the slave, or too little to fully disengage your clutch, you just cannot use any of their masters with any of their slaves and any clutch. You also need to find out the clutch disc wear over its expected life and account for that in the slave/master combo.

I have the LS9X clutch in my track only car and the GM slave failed after less than 8 hours of use. Your comment about the stock GM slave being junk is absolutely correct. It just disintigrated! I now have the Katech slave in the car and that should solve the problem. Anyone who installs a new clutch would be well advised to use the Katech unit since replacement of the slave is no easy task.

Received from Katech:
" The throwout bearing/slave cylinder assembly that we designed for the C5
LS9X clutch kit will only work with the LS9X/LS9R clutches. It doesn't work
with the factory clutch. "
Any suggestions on a throw out bearing from other vendors for a 2002 Z06 ? In another web search, mentioned that the GM part was upgraded, correct or ?
