cool.

That's the exact clutch set that I put in my car when I replaced the tranny. It grabs like no other but has a bit of chatter on take off. Shifts are very firm especially with a aftermarket short throw.

what?! its a dual clutch? oh wait thats a shot of one side, then another. lol. damn that flywheel side is nice. what did it cost?

and how bad is the chatter? i hope you just suck at feathering....

good looking clutch

i was dead set on a Ram HDX which is what i bought my camaro with. its 380 new from Summit, so last 6 months or so i was thinking itd be around 400 total once flywheel gets cut. so i finally deciding to get one and since i have to pay my parents back for the credit card purchase i figured i might as well upgrade, that way ill get a better product and wont feel bad abuot dishing out the extra dough, cause ill be obligated to pay them back.

im gonna start on it tomorrow and see how far i can go by myself and should be done by mid day friday im hoping at latest.

it was 500. also ordered some VHT niteshade from Summit.

im hoping with this new clutch and the nittos i can actually put down some nice numbers at the track. we'll see.

nice setup man

yay track times soon...right?

I didn't know u were gettin that stuff so fast.Now u will be able to keep up with my mustang! lmao

haha. lmao. alright for real tho...the car has no balls outa the hole and low end wise, but once i get the engine spinning the clutch seems to grab better and it pulls a little better up around 4k and above. w/e it will be nice having the full LT1 powerband again with a good clutch.hehe. passing on the highway in 6th gear might be an option again.hehe

well i started at 9 this morning. i worked all by myself on the floor:(feel bad for me now.lol anyways, i was able to get that t56 sucker outa there with 2 jacks and some loving.haha. but yea, it took me like 5 hours to get the flywheel off working by myself with hand tools(tahts right didnt wanna own the trans too bad and break out the pneumatics.hehe). also tightened soem header bolts that i cant get to from the top. im sitting here now, waiting till i can brign it to my friends work so he can cut it then im gonna begin installation. heres a few pics

:) make a video..I wanna hear those gears chirp!

Looks like a decent clutch, I don't think it would hold up in my car for too long, but should do you fine until you really put on the ponies.

Make sure you break that clutch in before you try going to the track with it!!

You should try not convulsing when you take pictures lmao. ;)

sorry paar, but i get dirty when i work on cars and try to keep the camera as clean as possible. so eat me.lol

Joe, yea the clutch is rated to 500 and i figure it will be plenty for me, even if i add a wet kit. i plan to go to the track in a few weeks, ill be taking the car on a long trip next weekend however my town is very stop and go, lots of stop signs so it will get a nice break in period for sure.
