I was going back and forth between the LS9 clutch or another Spec 3+. Since no one had run the Katech LS9 clutch/flywheel yet, I chose to go with another Spec 3+. My first lasted 3 1/2 years, almost made 4yrs.

I thought they haven't figured the slave cylinder issues yet with the LS9. I think it's my slave that took a crap we will see this spring.

Glad you posted updates. Even though the usual suspect is failed hydrauilcs, sometimes a broken clutch is due to, well, a broken clutch.
