Really? I could have sworn that I read somewhere on here that the lnf was heavier and something about the teeth.

Looks like I learned something new today. LSJ and LNF flywheel are the same.

I just had my GMPP clutch kit from CED installed by my dealer, along with new flywheel, clutch pipe, and clutch master cylinder. Clutch holds great and pedal feel is good.

Don't mean to hijack, but anyone know why the clutch engagement point is very close to the floor? I even brought my car back the next day so the dealer could re-bleed it. I'd like to try to bleed it again, but not sure there the bleeder is.

Its a hydraulic clutch and and it is new. It'll break in eventually.

i just had my clutch and tob done and mine is doing the same. only when i first step the pedal. after a few pumps mine goes back to normal. i hope that its just a break in as wert said, or that there is air in the system.

I've noticed mine takes longer to spin down compared to the LSJ clutch. When it's really cold out you can hear it. If you step on the clutch and immediately put it in R it'll grind.

Other than that it's an awesome clutch for the price.

Where did you guys get your clutches and flywheel from. Dealer wants $1285 labor only to do the clutch if I supply all parts!

That's pretty steep. I got my clutch kit and all misc parts from CED, got my flywheel from ZZP, and I even had a new clutch master cylinder put in which I got from Rockauto.com. My dealer did all that for $1,085 out the door. I just so happen to have a 20% off coupon for them, so I got another $200 off.

Apparently it takes 6.5 hours for a chevy dealership to do. So whatever they charge per hour is the cost. Phoned a transmission shop in ottawa and it was the same amount of time. Roughly 600 bucks plus tax if I supply the parts. Not horrible pricing but not the greatest either.

I was quoted 10 hours by my Chevy dealer AND a local performance shop. That's why I ended up going with the dealer, plus they gave me a free loaner.

Yeah right. Try doing that on a car that's seen 7 upstate ny winters. Those subframe bolts aren't coming out without a fight...
