Default Clutch Replacement

Putting new clutch in a 97 with 95,000. Already ordered new ls7 clutch kit with the flywheel, pressure plate, and disc. I was wondering what else i should replace while i have the driveline and trans out.

Might think about replacing the clutch slave and maybe even the clutch master.. If the slave fails you have a big job changing it out.. You'll have to pull the trans-axle and rear suspension again.

I'm doing a clutch soon and it's only because of both the slave and master going to pot...

I agrees with all of the above.

replace the clutch master, salve, and install a remote bleeder.

New couplers in the torque tube would be a good idea.

It is one of those while you are there things.
