Billet slave bearing support ?? Picture of stock 64k mile plastic
Getting ready to put the new engine in. Will be in the 800 hp range, should I just spend the $80 and buy the aluminum support ? I've seen some bad looking pictures of the stock plastic .
here is my stock support out of my 2010 ZR1 with 65,000 miles. Looks perfect. I have a new slave to put in while in there but not sure if its nescarry to take it apart and upgrade it?
I ride the crap out of my clutch at the track and I’ve never had a problem with stock. If mine survives pretty much no one should worry about it too much. If you’re just street driving I definitely wouldn’t worry about it.
And you should have no preload... so yeah if you have higher than stock preload (higher than zero) you can definitely hurt this sleeve
I'm installing the rxt which I have measured the height of compared to stock (identical). So I'm assuming it's the strength of the the springs or fingers that determine the preload ?
The bearing is for sure preloaded - hence the spring under the rubber sheath. The issue comes when its TOO preloaded and the fingers are being pressed by bottoming the piston out - similar to keeping your foot pressed on the clutch pedal always.

this makes sense to me, that spring under the sheath keeps the throw out bearing in constant contact with the clutch. So if the clutch stack heights are the same, I'd think there'd be no problem
