Clutch Advice
My clutch is pretty much on its last leg and just had a couple of questions that I could use some help on.
First off I was wondering what clutch a 99 Vette already has in it. I've heard that it may be the same clutch thats in the Z06. Not sure.
And second what would you recommend for a replacement. I have the usual aftermarket stuff i.e. air intake, exhaust, and headers. I really dont plan on doing to much more to it so I dont need anything heavy duty for high horsepower. I would however like to get something better but dont want to pay an arm and a leg for it as well. Thanks in advance to any help i get.

How many miles are on your car and, if you know, about how many launches has it made?
What does your clutch fluid look like?

Get the new Z07 clutch setup and 04 slave and master cylinder and be done with it, they are affordable from Fred Beans
I have the 04 slave and master cylinder, but went with the RPM clutch setup to support my Sick HP setup. One of my buddies has the Z07 setup in his 550 rwhp setup and it feels like stock and holds his without any issues

With that in mind, here are three clutch fluid issue threads to review:
Clutch Pedal Woes--Fluid Impact
C6Z06 Clutch Hydraulic Fluid--the Chevy Spec
Clutch Pedal Woes--Fluid Changing Kit
