Well, after 24,000 miles and some pretty serious drag racing, my stock clutch finally started to go. I was trying to decide for a while whether to go with the '02 Z06 Clutch, or the Cartek clutch. In the end, I went for the Z06 clutch for two reasons. First, the Z06 clutch was about 1/3rd the price. Second, I don't have heads/cam, so the Z06 clutch should be sufficient for my power levels. Let me just say I love this clutch. I had the slave cylinder replaced as well, so the pedal feel is much better, actually feels a little lighter than the stock clutch. The clutch just engages so much better. You can really feel the clutch engaging strong, not something I could say about the stock unit, especially during it's last days! I haven't been hard on it yet, need to break it in first, but I can already tell this clutch is going to grab MUCH better than stock at the drag strip. I also had an alignment done afterwards, and that made a BIG differance in how my car drives. It really feels like I'm driving a new car now, I love it. I'll end by thanking c4c5specialist for an AWESOME job doing the install!!!!! :D :D :D Not only did he do an excellent job with the install, but he spent a lot of time going over all the details with me, even showing me the old clutch I had beaten the crap out of! :D

 

Glad to hear of your success, BillY2KFRC, I plan on getting the same clutch as well when mine goes .

 

Does anybody know if the 2002 "Z06 Clutch" is any different than the clutch in any other 2002 C5?

 

My feelings exactly......

 

As of 2001 and 2002 they both have the same part #. :chevy 2002 electron blue 6 Spd. with all Z06 parts

Yes, I believe the 2002 C5 clutch is the same as the 2001 Z06 clutch. With the 2002 Z06 clutch being even stronger.

 

Billy,
glad to hear that you finally got that fixed, back to 12.7's for you :D
November is a ways away, plenty of time to break it in right

 

Hey pkmoose, I really like the antlers that you've installed on the hood of your C5. :smash: :yesnod: :smash: :yesnod: :smash: :lol:

 

Don't worry Pat, I'll have it broken in by November. Wouldn't miss those last two races for anything. 12.7s??? No way, with the cold weather and drag radials, I'm hoping for 12.5s, or better! :D :D :D

 

Any special mods required to clutch a '99? Did you surface the flywheel in the process?
Mine's probably next.

Thanks,

Ken :flag

 

The clutch should bolt right in Ken. The assembly comes with the clutch disk, pressure plate, and a new flywheel. I don't think any surfacing was done to it, but I'm not 100% sure. If you have over 20k miles on your car, it might be a good idea to change the slave cylinder at the same time. You'll get better pedal feel, it's worth the $70.

 

I stand corrected :nono:
Interesting idea for you, you said your buddy is getting married and you are going, and that's the reason for missing the next CC, how about having the wedding and reception at the track :D :D :D :D :D

 

The antlers are kind of an import thing, all for looks and no power added :D :D :D :D :D :D
