Re: Changed the clutch – thanks to Pete P
Here's a reminder of doing it with jack stands and balancing the tranny on the floorjack cup.
 I love this pic. Ryan and Lewis came over to help me work on my car and we ended up working on Lewises car because his tensioner pulley went south. That was the most Texas ZR-1's that have ever been in my driveway.

Re: Changed the clutch – thanks to Pete P
Pete is a great asset to the ZR-1 community. I hope to meet him and all the gang up there one day. After breaking off an engagement with miss wrong back in 1996 in Park forest Illinois I never thought Id ever have a reason to go back there. Now I do.

Re: Changed the clutch – thanks to Pete P
Here's what I started with
 stock LT5 Valeo disc and pressure plate, GM bearing [all from Jim J] beam plates [from Bill B] Castrol TWS [from BMW dealer :-(] Getting the Corsa exhaust off took a little longer than Pete thought. The driveshaft and C beam weren't too difficult. It's fun dropping the tranny and getting the shifter out.  Is it possible to bleed the slave with everything in the way? Wow. |

Great picture!
How much for this complete setup? stock LT5 Valeo disc and pressure plate, GM bearing [all from Jim J] Who is Jim J? How quiet was the transmission after the new oil was installed? Notice any difference?  David |

Here's the information he supplied about the "clutch kit:" I can include the bearing and bushing. Along with a clutch disc alignment tool, that would make a complete clutch kit. The throw-out bearing would be from INA, the original German manufacturer. Also, I include the GM Performance fluted pilot bushing, as that is what the LT5's & LT4's were built with. All components in the clutch kit are from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). This is new old stock (NOS). I have one LT5 pressure plate in my inventory that I bought for a great price....it has a slight cosmetic blem on the aluminum housing. It would not effect the integrity or function of the pressure plate. If I build a kit with this plate, the price is $450.00. Jim mentioned that he has a small number of very nice LT5 plates available, if anyone is interested. |
