On The Road Again!
Finished the install of an Ls7 clutch kit and abs of steel yesterday.
My assessment of this project. The removel of the drive trane, not difficult at all if you have a good transmission jack. Total time involved from start to finish 9 hours. This included pressure washing the trans-assebly, and the drill mod to the new stock slave cylinder, Lunch and a few beers.
Took the car for drive this afternoon.
I have to say I was concerned when I first released the clutch at start up to back out of the garage. It engages about two inches off the floor, and is just a fraction softer that the old clutch. (Which by the way was toast.) BUT SON OF A BE-ATCH DOES THIS CLUTCH GRAB!!!!
After about ten miles I was fealing better about the engagement more and more. along with the abs of steel the whole car felt different, solid. I can't even wait to break the clutch in.
Time will tell but Ithink this is going to be a great replacement for the stock clutch at a reasonable price. Although I am curious as to how it would work with an aluminum fly wheel.
Time is ticking, don't waste it sitting! Unless its behind the wheel of a vette!
