New Clutch install question

I just purchased the Centerforce clutch kit, and was wondering if there was anything else I would need to buy? I read on here that a few people were buying the LNF slave cylinder from GM. Can everything (bolts, gaskets, etc..) be re-used? This is my first clutch install on this car, so I'm not too familiar with everything yet. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

not sure if the centerforce comes with flywheel bolts, but i always replace them too. u need to get your flywheel resurfaced if you didn't get an aftermarket one.

if you want a slave cylinder, i have an extra brand new LSJ model one i can sell you for $30 shipped.

yes, it came with a new lightweight flywheel and a pressure plate. I heard that the LNF slave's are supposed to be better. There's nothing wrong with the one i have now, just wanted to see if it was necessary to buy a new one with an upgraded clutch and flywheel

Doesn't matter if your slave is good or not, replace it with a new one or risk 10 more hours of labor down the road cause u were too cheap to spend less than $50

why would u spend that much money on a clutch if you're only running a stage 2?

Cuz I have a TVS, Meth kit, HE, and 79's getting ready to be put on. And I'm not cheap, just want to do it right the first time, which is why I was asking. Thanks for the advice

You will need new Fly wheel Bolts they are one time use. ( torque to yield bolts ). Highly recommended that you replace the Slave cylinder as your already in there and why g through all that work if it fails down the road.

So is the LNF Slave supposed to be better? Can I buy the flywheel bolts from the dealer as well?

They strongly recommend you also replace the Cobalt Clutch Pipe 24422067 when you replace your clutch.
