LS7 Clutch alum. flywheel or no
 
Ordering my clutch hopefully tonight.

Is it worth spending the extra 100$ for the weight savings of about 10lbs on the flywheel.

Car has never seen the track but I do drive it hard.

Is there anything else i should do while the trans is out ?
Any other parts i should get?

Already have the tick adjustable MC w/ remote bleed (thanks "V")
Ordering a GM slave, pilot and throwout bearing when I order the clutch

Anything else ? bolts?

Possible to do the rear main seal and oil pan gasket while I am in there?

if the rear main seal/ pan gasket isent leaking don't mess with it

MyFirstZ 01-08-2012 07:14 PM

Pan has some seapage, but the rear main isn't. Probably won't mess with it.
Thanks Charlie

As far as the clutch any advice on that ?

Seems like you got it pretty much covered. The tick master is tight to install.

MyFirstZ 01-08-2012 07:27 PM

Yeah I have been dreading doing that one lol. . .

Any tricks ?

Was going to use this as a rough guide

I take the master off the brake booster then take the 4 nuts off inside that hold the booster to the firewall off... you wont get the booster out but it will slide a few inches out which helps a ton.

remote bleeder?

MyFirstZ 01-08-2012 08:02 PM

I saw that in the write up, was going to wait to see what the situation was like but I have faith now. Thanks again

Ordered everything except the throwout bearing which I did not see listed any where on tick or ws6store. So I will just make my way down to a dealer and pick one up.

Saved at least 80$ between prices on ws6store /w the free shipping compared to any other place I looked. A+

throwout bearing "should" come on the slave.

MyFirstZ 01-08-2012 10:23 PM

Ahh very good to know thanks

That's the slave..... Throwout bearing there ? I have no clue never saw anything like this

V 01-14-2012 01:02 PM

yea, the throwout bearing is on the end.

Here is a picture of a LS style slave pulled apart without the throwout bearing pictured.

Here is a pic of my LS7 slave. The throwout bearing is there as well. The bearing in the package in the back, is the larger size CTS-V pilot bearing.
