Clutch "flare" - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Weeberone · 02-15-2020

Hi, my 1990 has what a GM service technician called a flare. He drove the car up a slight hill in fourth gear at about 1200rpm and applied moderate gas. The clutch seemed to slip a little and the rpm increased a couple hundred rpm as the car got up to speed and then held fine. This is unusual as the clutch works great in all other conditions including extreme acceleration from a standing start.
My question is; does the entire clutch need to be replaced, meaning flywheel, disk and pressure plate, or just, say, the disk etc?
Any help would be appreciated.
