clutch change?????

[dandyl]

my 97 z28 does not like a clutch dump it wont spin and i think its slipping the clutch...could it be a slave cylinder doing this dirty deed or is it strictly clutch related???

Could be the clutch disc itself. Recomend getting a stage two performance pak clutch set up if your going to be dropping the clutch for burn outs and crap like that. They last a long long time. 300% longer than a OEM clutch under equal wear. You also may want to check your pilot bearing ( throw out bearing ) make sure your clutch is actually engaging all the way. Under your car , Where the engine and tranny mount together around the bottom side of the bellhousing should be a inspection panel , remove it and look for warped / broken or damaged items , such as peices , shavings , dry spots , a large amount of clutch dust.

my 97 z28 had the same problem. the result was the lt1 oil leak had oilsoaked my clutch and it just slipped like crazy

That will do it too. The clutch is supposed to remain dry as a bone

pilot bearing is the small bearing the input shaft slides into...not the same as the throw out bearing..the 93-97 cars have the pressure plate and throw out bearing in one whole unit..

get rid of that stocker and get a mcloed or spec stage 3...have your flywheel turned before the new one goes in too

have you noticed a decrease in gas mileage? a slipping clutch will allow higher crusing rpms and drink up more gas. its a bit of a give away.
