help needed
I am getting ready to put my car in the shop for some repairs and am not 100% certain what is going on.
When pulling away, if I am not giving the car enough gas, the rear shakes and vibrates badly. I thought this was user error, and solved the issue with clutch/gas. Now, I think my clutch is slipping - I accelerate (anywhere), and the car revs, but no acceleration. I am getting ready to replace my clutch next week with a zo6 kit, but need to know what else I should have the tech look at. (torque tube bushing? differential? 1.2 shafts? I am clueless on this, and just want the thing to run right.
Thanks.

Sure sounds like a clutch issue to me, The Z06 clutch is a good clutch, Make sure you have the flywheel surfaced and replace the TO bearing. and maybe the pilot bushing...

I got the entire z06 kit - flywheel, etc. I had a RAM stage 2, and it was ridiculously heavy, and I only got around 15k out of it....
