Not to brag, I got a DMF for $110 shipped, when I got it it looked brand new like a clutch plate never touched it. Few years ago also on ebay got a brand new throttle body some race shop had sitting on a shelf somewhere. Found an ECM from a corvette dismantler in Miami about 8 yrs ago. Put it in my car and it started right up. Found a DIS unit and selective ride actuators from another dismantler in Sarasota FL that ZR-1 Jerry didn't want. Found the entire Delco stereo from some guy in Orlando, 5 yrs ago, and the intake accordion at Carlile auto auction in Lakeland FL last year...
Point is you just have to keep looking and buy parts you don't need and then store on a shelf somewhere. I believe lots of these parts are around hiding in someones garage. You just have to be persistent in searching for them. Or maybe just buy an entire spare car... |

There are various factors that contribute to the amount of gear rattle. Mine sounds like the engine is coming apart.

With stock cams & 100 to 150 higher RPM and Redline High Shock gear oil in the trans, there is no appreciable gear rattle (@ least I don't hear any).
With Pete's cams & phasing in my wife's Z there is considerable gear rattle; a box of rocks comes to mind. Is the rattle an issue? You'd have to be the judge. But, the only time you can hear the rattle is when in neutral idle w/ the clutch engaged. Mitigating the gear rattle is the B&B exhaust noise. People notice the engine cam loping and the throaty rumble waaay before they notice gear rattle, we find. But, if the engine is idling with the hood up, then some ppl will ask about the gear rattle. So...if you listen for it you can't miss it. Is it an issue? Not for either of us. And, the car doesn't sit idling much, to be honest.

I tried every brand of flywheel and matched clutch set up on another 95 LT1 I used for street and track. The noise was just more than I could take but they all had chatter. I went through all new throw out bearings. It was a bad experience for me, I even towed it to Van Dorn (when he was still with us), he could not fix it either. It went in with a NOS blue tag ZF transmission . I am convinced the trans was bad. I sold the car. I would be interested in driving a few other members car with after market flywheel and clutch set up to see how they sound and drive. I am looking for a NOS DM flywheel for my NCRS 95's as a spare for when the time comes.
