Subject: RE:'94 LT1 clutch, flywheel, etc. by bogus on 2007/11/2 4:05:49 To hit the points: 1. The DM does not prematurely fail... it dies at 120k. Done. The problem is that the DM acts much like the spring in a conventional sprung hub clutch friction disc, that wears, so does the DM... sad, really. With that said, yes, the F-body SM will work, just cut .090 off. You will use a Corvette pressure plate and an Fbody friction disc. 2. Are you cranking out 450hp? If not, stock, organic clutches are just fine and maintain easy street drivability. 2a. Whatever you do with the clutch, if you go away from the DM, you will have to get the SM "match balanced." This is when the intentional out of balance of the DM is applied to the SM. If not, serious vibrations will ensue. Sad, really. 3. I have beam plates. I like them. If for no other reason than it makes reinstalling the c-beam that much easier. It also helps cut down on the swing to the right the rear end does under hard acceleration. I would consider doing u-joints. |
