Default Shifting 2 to 3 issue's

Very frustrating.

When I did the power upgrades the clutch problems showed within a couple hundred miles.

I'm not a drag racer however I do like to shift @ red line with no worries. I wonder if rpm is part of the issue as I do rev much higher than stock, do the big inch lower reving high HP motor's have the same shifting issue's?

The clutch was replaced with the LS7 & new slave with a remote bleeder......might as well do 4:10's @ the same time!

I felt the LS7 clutch would be fine for my style of driving & maintain a near stock like engagement, peddle feel blah blah. I was told the near floor engagement was normal & would improve as the clutch broke in. Yeah maybe, it might be marginally better.

Well right now this sucks, I've searched & the same issues show up over & over again.

So I have place the order for the "Tick", it sounds good & I'm hopeful.

Did a heads cam install on my 02 ZO6 and 30 min into the on the road tuning run,,, the clutch started to stick to the floor under full power runs! I thought that the clutch was slipping and causing the issue but,,, when I removed the clutch,,,,,it looked new!

It has something to do with the slave cylinder. It looked pretty black and nasty.



I have a brandy new Spec Duel Disk to replace it!
