Clutch information?

[broadslide]

Does anybody have any links/info about a possible GM tech bulletin ref overheating clutch on LS2 Monaro.I've tried a couple of the usual websites but it's all related to the usual clutch fluid problems. I believe they were replacing std with LS7? Thanks for any help.

Is that your ro hutchings has got in for the clutch? If so speak to Matt he's the guy sorting mine, I'm just waiting for the clutch pedal assembly from oz. Apparently that's recommended to change at the same time in the tech notes.

Yeah tis mine and Mat is working on it. Went out with him so he could see the problem. He agrees with whats happening ie pressure plate but VX won't cover it under warranty because it's done more than 18,500 miles. It' just done 20,000. So I have to scream and shout at VX now.
Unless any of the great HSV massive knows of any tech bulletins etc ref premature clutch failure. ( we have established its not fluid or master cylinder) Thanks in advance for any info.

He mentioned about the clutch pedal on a VXR8 but didn't know if that applied to Ro as well.

Got a private viewing of John's collection including the LC he's working on!

They told me something about 18,500 miles being all the clutch is covered until. Luckily for me they changed the clutch after 15k, the new one has done about 15k so is also just under the threshold.

I'm not sure the pedal assembly needs changing but they insisted on doing it. Anyway good luck trying to get VX to sort it.

I didn't know John had a LC I wouldn't mind seeing that. I know he was unlucky enough to have a VXR8 with every possible problem/failure.
