I have, but still trying to go slow over big bumps and speed bumps still sucks.... gotta throw it in neutral so you dont feel like your riding a bucking bronco

 

yes well i got the pedal covers for two reasons

they look awesome

and yes gas pedals twice as stiff. now, i was used to the touchyness of the old pedal but this one just feels more legit.

once it settles in forsure its one of the best mods! same with the pedals and STS! holy ****, its a different driving machine now!
and actually that moneys going to a zzp longtube header!

idk man im too prone to losing bolts and ****

 

dont smoke trees when you are working on your car. problem fixed. rofl.

on a more serious note, when doing a long job, i always put the nuts and bolts in labled ziploc bags, and i also label all electrical connectors and hoses with masking tape using letters and numbers. taking pictures helps too. I also always make sure my garage is clean, and that I have specific spots for each tool. It's also important to put your tools back when you are done using them. its easier to get them out of the toolbox when you know where they are than to look around for 15 minutes because you forgot where you put it lol.

 

Lol ya I know it can seem overwhelming. It was for me when I first looked at it. But I just took my time and followed the LSJ build book and it was really easy. But I know some poeple aren't as mechaniclly inclined as others. The money I saved installing the clutch myself I put towards my TVS haha.

 

haha i read that trick in the buildbook!

well i've gone 350 miles so far, cars running great and shifting like a dream. bout time to start trying some launching! and burn some rubber!

 

Thinking about getting the GMP clutch as well. Mine does the not let it out of gear crap at high RPMS, tried changing my clutch fluid (It was black with blackk floating stuff in it) That didnt work. I dont really have the facalities to change the clutch myself. I read the LSJ Power book (Its a great book) I dont have the means to drop my transmition or engine frame assembly like it says in the book, so looks like I'll have to have a shop do it. I'm sure Rick would be glad for the money / buisness though. I've been to his shop a few times for stuff. He seesm to have a good operation and crew going.

 

Did 500 miles on mine. Did not give it over 50% throttle, and did not hold a specific rpm for a sustained period of time. Worked FLAWLESS.

 

yea... i wound up flooring it and going about 145 the other night with my buddy feil. but still, works flawless

 

I put my TVS on Friday and went for a quick rip. First time I banged through the gears since I put the clutch in and I found myself blowing shifts like crazy like a noob lol. Guess I gotta learn with this clutch. Anyone else find this?

 

i've missed 2nd once so far but thats probly cuz of the sts settling in

 

if there is a set that includes the whole gas pedal assembly then im totally down. i have a feeling mine is starting to develop a bad spot right near the start of its travel.

 

Hey guys, I just put a gmpp upgraded clutch and tob w/ clutch pipe and new flywheel bolts and clutch plate bolts in 2 days ago. I've put 64 miles on it so far. Sometimes just normal driving it is hard to shift into gears And also the engagement point is basically on the floor.. i Find sometimes if i mash my Pedal to the floor it shifts Easy into gears like normal. I'm not sure if it needs bleeding or if its just part of breaking in the clutch (I've never done a clutch swap until now or even drove a car with a upgraded clutch in it lol).. 😔 I have a 07 ss/sc w/ 2.6, 60's, meth, 3" dp, stage 2 belt w/ ot tensioner, dual pass plate, phenolic spacer, hurst sts, & WickedSS tuned! 👍 If anyone could chime in and help me out before I have to do worn not needed!

 

The grab point for the gmpp is pretty much on the floor that didn't change for me.

as for sometimes hard shifting, check your shift linkage cable in front of your shifter.... make sure thats prperly adjusted. doesn't take much to make shifting harder than it needs to be

 

I haven't messed with the shifter linkage cause it was perfect before I did the clutch swap (from stock) for 5k miles.. Do you think that could still need re-adjusting? I could see that changing if the tranny was changed but not a clutch.. How many miles have you put on your new clutch? You love it or what? And downsides to the clutch?

 

bleed it again there is air in there. good luck

 

I used a mighty vac to bleed it.. And still hard to engage.. I'm going to check shifter linkage now..

 

Thanks guys for the help!! 😄 Shifter linkage was the cause! I guess it just was off just enough to still drive but to not engage smoothly!!

 

The GMPP upgrade for the LSJ does not need a break in period. ( I know, I have it)

 

You serious?

 

The build book says that there's a couple heat cycle break in.. It doesn't say a 500 mile break in from what I've seen but it does say don't go ripping through gears as soon as you get done installing..

 

couple of normal starts its done. pedal then comes up a bit; assuming properly installed, sealed and bled.

 

Driving your car with that new clutch should be done with care for the first few heat cycles—
so don’t plan on drag racing in the first 10 minutes out. Once you have a few easy engagements
in the clutch and at least one heat cycle, the clutch should be ready for regular usage—
if there is such a thing with one of these rockets!

 

The build book is covering the OEM LSJ Clutch though...

 

is that quoted from the gm build book?
