Re: Clutch (Callsign_Vega)
Vega-You might get away keeping your clutch but not for very long. No power shifts or bonzai launches. How many miles on it? If 35 to 40,000 miles I would change it to at least a ZO-6 clutch or better. Replace the clutch slave actuator when you do the clutch and replace/bleed with fresh fluid as well. Good Luck

Re: Clutch (Sack Rat TT)
I've gotten away with it for 4K miles. Just occassionally dumping the clutch and powershifting, but I'll have to get one in the spring. :cheers:

Re: Clutch (Callsign_Vega)
if you have access to a lift it will be really easy. I just did mine w/ the car up on 4 jack stands, wasn't too bad, I have done worse jobs.

Re: Clutch (Callsign_Vega)
This is a tough one to answer. 21CMC put in a 2002 Z06 clutch when I went with an LPE STAGE I TT, around 6 PSI. A few months ago, I upgraded to a stage II and the base line boost is 8 PSI with max boost around 11-11.5 PSI (on pump gas). I still have my 2002 Z06 Clutch with absolutley no problems.
But IANFZ06, a CF member with an LPE STAGE I, has had free-play problems with his clutch since his install. I don't know exactly what his free-play issue is related to but I wantyed to atleast give you some information on his clutch issue being that he has an FI package. Here is IANFZ06's thread on his clutch issues and I hope this helps:
