Should I buy my replacement clutch from Corvette central or one of the other corvette places or get one thru the local Auto Zone(like a pep boys).The price differance is about $75 cheaper in the auto zone.

I agree. :nono: I think that if you are this deep into the job, it may be a good idea to scoop up at leased a stock one!

BTW: I have a stock one; with about 10k easy miles - yours for 100 + shipping.

I assume that this is for your 94??? Email me. brian.robert@keiperdelta.com if you would like details and pics of this dude.

If you plan on keeping it stock go with a stock unit, they are great.

Contact Jeff Kopp (18carfan on here) at superior chevrolet in kansas city.

parts@superchevyperformance.com

Tell him you're from the forum and I sent ya. He can hook you up with a good deal on a stock clutch. He is their wholesale parts guy. Also keep in mind that your dual mass flywheel is NOT supposed to be resurfanced. You may be able to get by with doing nothing depending on how it is or you may want to purchase a new one. They are kind of pricey.

Good luck. :)
