1TrueSS Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 What did you think, I dropped a 505hp LS7 in the truck! :jest: I swaped my burnt up LS6 clutch setup for a LS2/LS7 clutch combo. I still need to put 500 miles on it before I get on it still. I also still need to bleed the hydrolics one more time. This clutch feels great! It is a bout 12lbs heavier, so I will see if I can feel that much. It grabs about an inch off of the floor and is really smooth. Hopefully this clutch last a little bit longer than my LS6 did. I don't think I will hot lap this one. Learned my lesson! Old burnt up LS6 setup thread!

1TrueSS Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I bought them off of LS1tech from a guy named spanktu for $360 shipped! Not a bad deal since T56rebiulds has the same combo for $600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1TrueSS Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I like your truck alot. whats it 1/4? 14.0 @ 97mph with out the LT headers. I will be shooting for high 13s if I ever make it out to the track this year. I think I am there with the extra 25 rwhp I got from the headers!

BIG SHAFE Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I predict you run into the same problem again, especially since it engages only an inch from the floor. Next time get an aftermarket that isn't self adjusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1TrueSS Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Well for $360, we will see how it goes! I think 1 inch is pretty good, since some f-body guys engauge on the floor. I have not bleed my system yet either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG SHAFE Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I think 1 inch is pretty good, since some f-body guys engauge on the floor. I have not bleed my system yet either No its not good, it means that as soon as the clutch forward adjusts for wear you wont be able to disengage the clutch.

1TrueSS Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 My LS6 clutch new was lower than this LS7 clutch and I could still engauge it even with it adjusted forward even right before the swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG SHAFE Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 The same will happen again, it will foward adjust and wont hold the torque like before or you wont be able to disengage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1TrueSS Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Yes! Note the purple paint from the factory. How can I pervent the FA or why does it happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG SHAFE Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Yup, you are gonna run into problems again. The diaphram spring looks wrong, it shouldn't be pressed in that far. That it what it should look like when you push in the clutch not when its sitting there with no load on it. Something isnt right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1TrueSS Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 diaphram spring? What am i looking at? the yellow springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG SHAFE Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 http://pic14.picturetrail.com/VOL564/772744/5344526/173058391.jpg I can't tell, is the flat side of the disc towards the camera or on the flywheel. By that I mean the black facing material being almost flat with the retainer plate it is attatched to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1TrueSS Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I belive the flat part is down. I took the pics straight on top so it looks like the flat side. It can go only one way or the four springs will rub on the flywheel bolts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG SHAFE Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 diaphram spring? What am i looking at? the yellow springs? http://gozips.uakron.edu/~mas4/clutch.jpg The yellow arrows point to the diaphram spring. It is what engages and disengages the disc. The yellow springs are call sensor springs that provide forward adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1TrueSS Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I think it is the angle I took the photo that makes it look like they are going in. Let me see in my other pics if they are the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me see in my other pics if they are the same way. I kinda doubt it, the diaphram spring will should be out side the clutch cover or just above the clutch cover.
