New gmp upgraded clutch arrived!!

alright as some of you may know i just bought a G85 Trans, and just got my GMP clutch kit in this morning. I will be doing the swap this evening. I wanted to let everyone on here know that is considering going with this clutch kit and doing the install THEMSELVES, That the kit DOES NOT come with the alignment clutch tool nor does it reccomend on CED's website that it is suggested or and optional part for more money. I wont have a problem being a tech i can get ahold of one but for those of you that are considering going with the clutch keep this in mind. Ill let everyone know how she holds, when im done with the break in period and i go to the track

bump this clutch is awesome. Just passed the break in period and man she bites! Thumbs up to GM for releasing it even though it should have been factory in the LSJ's

Just did same gmp clutch, but clutch only disengages when fully touching the floor. Any ideas as to why? Bled it multiple times. Sounds yours work fine, cant wait 4 that grip.

honestly man unless your turbo swapped youre not gonna have an issue. The big determining factor about me getting this clutch was maxim, The LSJ the goes to the track and has really good power and hasnt had one issue with this clutch. but again you could have the best clutch in the world and abuse it so it doesnt operate right

its all about putting heat cycles into the clutch. Thats what breaks it in. Drive it normally, just dont speed shift or no lift shift, or slip the clutch. You can still drive hard and fast just make sure the clutch is fully disengaged first.

GMPP clutch is the F40's clutch.

LNF clutch is actually a higher rated piece IIRC.

GMPP clutch is good though, I have driven it.
