LS9 Clutch fitted vxr8 ls3

[rich24v]

After a year on my shelf, I finally got around to fitting
the ls9 clutch during the week.
Very pleased, absolutely stock feel, so much so that
I really struggle to tell the difference to be honest.....for me
that is perfect. If anything it's smoother, pull away
in 2nd so easy.

Fitting was relatively straight forward,
although a short call the fish was required to confirm
a small detail, thanks Roger. Fitted a remote bleed at
the same time.

Nice bit of machining.




Std pressure plate surface..........

1/2" spacer is a lot!, the shaft spigot doesn't engage into the bearing much more than that, or was there a
mod for that too?

The only mod required to fit my 6 bolt LS9 was to swap the oe slave hydraulic feed pipework
to the new slave cylinder, plus a little tweak to the pipe bend.

All this begs the question. with only delivery mileage on your car Rich ( ) why such an upgrade in clutch? What power are you looking to coax out of it eventually?

Ha!, I'll have you know it clicked over 15k just the other day !
I guess, like most here, I want more than enough, but less than enough to blow it up
