Clutch Out, Which Should I Buy? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Release Bearing: Abt $225 NOS. NOS quality is non-existent &amp; expensive. All are aftermarket Chinese mfg of poor quality.
Clutch Fork: Abt $225 NOS. NOS is virtually non-existent, Expensive &amp; not likely to be reproduced.
Fork Ball Stud: Abt $35 NOS. NOS scarce but around. Could be reproduced but impractical due to lack of other components

Steve, if you are talking about the shifter the answer is yes, I have one of each installed in each Callaway.
As for the Ram dual disk,I do not as of yet. All of my past race cars had Powerglide transmissions and currently none of my Corvettes need a clutch so I have not updated to the RAM. Black LPE will be the first to get one. I have talked with several of our members with the big HP big cube cars and they sware by them.

My thought is if you are going to resurface your DMF, recondition your slave cylinder, replace your clutch, throwout bearing and clutch fork. You are at somewhere between $800-$1000. Why not upgrade for an additional $300.

Have you had a bad experience with the DD?
