Default changing the clutch

I have a 2001 Z making 450 rwhp and as you all know this causes problems for the clutch. I have a SPEC 3 clutch and flywheel and a new slave. I need to install them. does anyone have step by step instructions with pictures?

IIR there are two how to's written on this. I think one was by Cajundude, but not sure. Do a search and you will find what you are seeking. I'll be doing the same thing in a month or so.

also a MUST to buy is the speed bleeder, from LAPD. Trust me the clutch is a pain in the rear if you dont have the speed bleeder. good luck!

Default balance it !!

I would reccommend a good machine shop balance the clutch & flywheel
before you install it. I had a spec....holds great but vibration was a #$@!*. Cost is about $ 60.00
