Nice write up Cliff!

Hey, I wonder why the zf release bearing works that way? Maybe because it pulls instead of pushes?

I saw a thread over at CF in the ZR-1 section. A person is using a C2 with I think a custom chassis as a new home for an LT5. He ditched our release bearing system for one that I think is like the C5 & C6 type. No slave and no fork (?) ... I should say here that I'm not fluent in C5 or C6 so I could be wrong. However the pictures that were posted show an LT5 bell housing with the slave mount machined off and a block off plate with a hydraulic line exiting from it. He had to do this because the slave would have been in the driver's foot well.
