According to PRE-Z06 (a very good resource here), the C7 and C7Z clutches are identical.

The stock C7 clutch has proven to be solid up to a very high amount of HP. Have yet to have a customer need one replaced and we have quite a few running around w/ 700+ rwhp that drag race it.

I think that the bearing is going out. I feel a vibration in the peddle and I have some chatter. I have driven a stick shift car all of my life and have never had a clutch problem. The car has 9500 miles on it. ?????????

9500mi wouldn't be absurdly soon, but that's still annoying. Part's cheap, labor is fairly extensive. Should be under warranty regardless of drivetrain mods (kind of hard for an OEM to explain away a premature throwout bearing failure).
Only exception is if they see clutch glazing or other signs of what they would call 'abuse' or driver error (resting on clutch pedal), then they may tell you it's a wear item. Been through that with a different brand but came out successful after seeing a pristine clutch face.

Also, it appears that there are different parts numbers for the ZO6 flywheel, clutch and bearing vs. the Z51. I have asked if I can upgrade my car with the ZO6 parts. Still waiting for an answer.

It appears that if the drive train has been modified they do not warrant any of the drive train components. They are not sure what is wrong since they have not opened up the car yet.

They have been enforceing them since 2007. I had a 2500HD DURAMAX denied transmission warranty coverage due to a tune in 07. The pay to play rule went into effect the second they put that cvn checksum in the ecu.
