there are alot of factors that will make a clutch prematurely wear out... but who's to say it wasn't shot a while ago ~ I mean you don't know the histroy of the car...

the one thing I find funny is that you say it pretty hwas fine the, completely ineffective;

I would be inclined to think something went wrong, like either the clutch disc gave it the ghost, or the throw out bearing died... which could be from prior abuse, or simply bad luck...

you will only know what happened upon removal ~ and since it's out, there would be zero point in trying to salvage the parts - and only buy what's deemed to be kaput.

$150 + throwout a bearing is a smoking deal... and I'll be down in ten days

 

Aight, I sent you a PM Spaz. Any suggestions where to get a TOB/Slave cylinder in Canada (hopefully)? Looking for the LNF one as it's supposed to be an upgrade.

Thanks again guys, trusting you all on this one haha.

order from crate engine depot and just phone him for priority shipping (2-3 days and be at your door step) it will still be cheaper

 

Thank you sir, I gave Tom a shout. Also while I'm at it I'm going to pick up the upgraded timing tensioner.

im probably forgetting a bunch of stuff but that kind of summarizes it

spring mods- 50 shot nitrous, slicks

 

yah tensioner is much cheaper from the us, by like 5 x haha

 

^^^ damn.

how much harder were u able to launch with the upgraded axles.

 

there was no point in launching hard, my car has no traction, i will let you know in the spring when i get slicks, they arent the best ones, they are only rate for around 300-350hp

 

thatd be the ones id be looking at getting too. i dont plan on doing much more to my car. i just want to launch hard with no wheel hop.

 

axles don't lest you launch harder, they only resist breaking more...

ha-ha... I guess that could seem to contradict...

IIRC there were two things that caused the stock LSJ axles to break;

1. wheel hop
2. too much torque

I need to stress the first reason though...

anyway that's why GM Performance divisions released this kit;

Wheel-Hop kit

I have more often heard it referred to as the "anti-wheel-hop kit"...

 

i have the rotated stage 2 mounts from ottp. so if i get axles it will basically be that kit lol just it will be a lot cheaper lol

 

^^ so are you saying then that you need to find an SS/TC part out, to nab the axles

have you looked int AV to see if they have CV's listed for the TC's (that are specific to the TC's)?

 

that's an option or i could get even beefier ones lols...

wow apparently beefier is a real word. i didnt know that
