no
you can use a camaro Disc, but you need the Corvette Pressure plate and throw-out bearing

Lee you can use a camaro disk with the ZR-1 clutch/preasure plate and new flywheel but you can't swap a camaro clutch in place of the stock clutch. There will be issues. And I know you don't want issues. So just use a camaro disk or an aftermarket one and your good to go.

Well, I found 12mm 1.75 studs at ACE for $2.40 a piece, the trans is lined up on the studs, but still having a hell of a time getting it in the pilot bearing, only about an inch to get the trans flush with the bell housing.

Cannot wait to get the damn thing done.

I had the same problem.

Fill the clutch resovoir and operate the clutch a few times. This will require getting the air out of the lines. Leave the clutch resovoir cap and bellows off while you pump the clutch pedal. After you cycle the clutch a few times the transmission will slide in.

Good Luck!
