Use it I did. I'm glad it fail when it did and where it did. On Wed, Jul 14th - heading to get ready for working registration for the Black Hills Corvette Classic, I'm thinking I need to check this out one more time - I was signed up for Drags Thurs night as one of the events for the Classic. So I roll around the corner onto the 4 lane road heading to Billions Chervolet (our club sponsor) and at a roll of about 2 mph I nailed the throttle - clutch hooked up will full power, all the way to rev limiter. Went to shift into 2nd and it wouldn't go. Coasting down I blipped the throttle and got it into 3rd. Released the clutch and no output - just coasting. I blipped the throttle again and got it into 2nd, released the clutch and could just feel the faintest bit of power - enough to get it into Billions parking lot.
I had a break in registration later in the morning, went out fired it up, put it in 1st, let out the clutch and went absolutely NO WHERE - not one inch.
I sent Corey a picture of the pressure plate - had SPEC sticker on and gave him the p/n. He wrote back to say SPEC hasn't used yellow on it pressure plates for at least 7 years! In looking at the clutch plate yesterday after everything was all button up and a test drive, I came back and looked at the clutch plate one last time and noticed a "REMF" stamp on - why would any one put a reman clutch plate in a ZR-1
It's working fine, just back from a 30 mile trip (only 470 to go!). Yesterday it felt real easy to press down - like stepping on a marshmellow - tonight the pressure that I was used to was the same - so even a Stage 1 takes some muscle in stop and go!
Thanks again Guys for the links that were passed on - the pocket book wasn't going to handle much more then what it ended up costing me.
Later to you all, Mike
