Hi,
The factory parts are balanced as an assembly: flywheel & clutch plate. This does not mean that each part is individually balanced so if you are mixing parts you need to rebalance.
Good luck,
Steve

Actually I bought the components (02 Z06 clutch) from a vendor and it was shipped in 3 pieces. So does that need to be balanced then?

Re: Z06 Clutch Compnents ? (Buckmaster)
The one I recently bought and installed was a LUK (OEM) and it came in 1 box balanced as an assembly. I was putting a different motor in my car at the same time. That motor didn't have a flywheel so I had no weights to transfer to the new flywheel that came with my clutch kit. I took a chance and installed the entire setup without putting any weights on the new flywheel. Guess what? Yup, no shaking or other problems. She just hooks awesome now. In fact, this morning on my way to work, some lady was cutting me off from merging so I mashed the go pedal after downshifting back to 1st. It squeeled and then when I hit 2nd it squeeled again. I don't ever recall my LS1 clutch hooking up like that.
If your parts came together, they were balanced. If not, I'd take them and have them balanced. It's not worth taking a chance IMO. Too much work invovled in going back in though now that I've changed a rear, tranny and engine at the same time I think I could change a clutch in a few hours easily.
Best of luck,
Frank

They are brand new parts, never installed on a car yet. The parts are 2002 Z06 clutch.
Hi,
Ask the vendor if the parts came out of the same car. If not, of if he doesn't know, go to the balancer.
Good luck,
Steve

You have too much HP/TQ for the Z06 clutch. You should have went with an aftermarket clutch. (McLeod, Cartek, etc.) :smash:
