Hi chaps,
As above, would anyone see value in having the McLeod slave or equivalent in a VXR8 over stock GM? Would it be more reliable? Would it last longer? Or is it just its "throwout" power that it increases?

Thanks

Thanks chaps,
I will patiently sit and wait to hear smile

Ps. One of the links about clutch and slave mentioned drilling mod to the hydraulic pipe between the slave and the master cylinder, but I am guessing it has not been backed by any testing on this forum? Not that I need it. New LS7 bites well and does not suffer from "pedal in the floor" syndrome.

BBB, the car is still sitting on the driveway waiting for me to find time to investigate. I mentioned recent installation of LS7 as I had installed when putting the new engine in. That seemed to have cured the "fluid boiling / clutch sticking to the floor" problem.

I read somewhere (admittedly US site) that drilling out a bottleneck on both side of the hydraulic pipe from master to slave cylinder helps inrease fluid flow and thus providing a remedy.
