Clutch Question.......!!!!!!
I am having to replace the slave cylinder in my 99. I want to put a clutch in it to handle my long tube headers, ls6 intake manifold, a good tune and my nitrous that i am putting on while i have it apart. I need a reasonable priced clutch that will do the job. Suggestions??? Also while i have it that far apart is there any maintenance things i should do to it??? Thanks!

I here the centerforce clutch is a good all around clutch. and they are cheap too. Monster clutch is another that has some good feedback. the specs seem to have issues with some ppl. Hope this helps.
Get a tick master and slave and one of them clutch bleeader extensions.

Every manufacturer out there has problems with their clutches at one time or another. I have never heard of one clutch out there that has been perfect for everyone.

None of these small vendors, seem to warranty their products leaving the end user hanging.

Our Adjustable Clutch Master Cylinder is set up to work with the stock GM Slave. Our Master is a huge upgrade over the factory piece for a myriad of reasons - you can read all about them in our FAQ on our site:

Our Remote SPEEDbleeder Line is nice because it allows you to go back and bleed the car any time without having to crawl under there and tear the car apart to access the bleeder. Read more about it here:

Not true, Steve at Monster replaced my pressure plate even before I installed it. He said send it back, just to be safe. All shipping expenses were covered by Monster. The replacement PP looked different.That didnt sound like it was leaving a customer hanging!

Lucky you, wish that was true for the other vendors.
