Default New clutch installed

Just got the Vette back from the shop today, had them install my new clutch kit, slave, master cylinder, and remote bleeder. So glad I got it done, solved all the issues I was having. Before my pedal was at the top and mushy. Now it grabs almost instantly, and the pedal is tight. My shifting is also way smoother now, before it was tough to get into gear sometimes but now its like butter. Next on the list is changing tranny and diff fluid.

$1220 for labor including new rear brake pads. About $460 in parts which I supplied to them.

Ended up going with Luk 04905, Luk Slave and Master, Hinson bleeder. We'll see how everything holds up.

02 base model stock ls1.
55k miles on stock clutch

Interesting. Still running my original clutch with 110,000 miles on the car.
