David, the tranny seemed smooth and quiet before, so I don't notice any difference there. Of course, between the LT5, K&N cones, and Corsa, I might not be able to hear any noise made by the tranny


Here's the old clutch disc ...

Once I saw the condition of the pressure plate and clutch disc, I was worried about the flywheel ... my fears were well-founded



Now, what do I do?

Pete tells me "I have a reconditioned dual-mass flywheel that I'll sell you cheap"

Wow.

When I told my son this story later, he said "The guy just happens to have a dual-mass flywheel laying around?!"

Here's the "new" flywheel



You don't suppose he just took a scotch-brite pad to it, do ya?


Well, that's the story. I can't imagine how much it would have cost me (in both time and money) to have this done at my local Corvette specialty shop. Thanks Pete =D>

Actually 149lb dry but what's a few lbs.
Glad it went well. It's good that you didn't have
any secondary failures to cause a re-tear down.
