Help Needed Clutch Upgrade '98
Looking at upgrading clutch. GM Parts Direct has a clutch, pressure plate, and disc to fit a Z06 to '02 and above for a little over $300. I was wondering if this would fit my '98. The parts directory at the dealer shows the same clutch for the '98-01 ZO6's and two different clutch assembly's for '02 and newer ZO6's. If i cannot upgrade to a z06 clutch, any recomendations?

From what I have read you can upgrade to a Z06 clutch in your car. Replace your slave cylinder while you're in there. Save you labor costs later down the road. I put in a SPEC stage III last week in my 99 and so far I love it. It grips HARD!! There is a little chatter when leaving from a stop but I can drive it so it doesn't chatter. It feels like it wants to take off really hard from a stop. Just an option. Kaley

Mark the price on the package is $303.59 + 60.72 shipping or $363.31
total. It includes the flywheel, clutch disc, and pressure plate. It says it is designed to fit 2001-2004 ZO6. This seems to be a great price and i am wondering if i can use it in my 98? The website is www.gmpartsdirect.com. Go to upgrades then C5.

Guys mine is a '98 and I installed a '02 Z06 clutch, flywheel, master and slave cylinder and love the set-up; it works for me with drag radials. If you plan on ET Streets etc., better look elsewhere.
