Well...i decided im gonna keep the Z........While an 01 engine was being installed in my car the mechanic noticed that the clutch was over halfway worn.......so i went and got a DURALAST clutch from autozone........230 bucks after tax. What do yall know about duralast clutch's. Its got lifetime warantee...
Whats the diff between a normal clutch like that and a stage 3 just the @!#$ its made out of rite?? Idk much bout clutches as u can tell.
friction material, clamping force, materials, assembly method. but i guess if you dont drive the it hard it'll be just fine.
while it's apart replacing the throwout bearing may be a good idea
14.82 @ 97 mph
well i got the whole kit. I drive it hard as @!#$. It has lifetime warantee so i aint scurrd. Is duralast a trusted brand name or what all??

probably a lifetime warranty on workmanship, no wear. soooo......
Spent $300 on an ACT Clutch, damn thing wouldnt disengaged, spent $175 on the Autozone Duralast Clutch (not made by Duralast BTW), works far better than the ACT... Sad, but my only option at the time.
^^^ who installed the clutch.
my mechanic who also installed a 01 grand am engine into my car. Is it true that u should baby the car for about 500 miles with a new clutch or what. I guess u can warp the clutch or some@!#$. And for some reason even with the old engine i have this weird ticking....its not too loud but its there u know, turn up the music and u dont hear it ....or ill just put my intake on. .but it was there with the old engine and with this one and the cluthc and throwout bearing have been replaced wtf could this be. Just put some good oil in ther too.
drive it normal, not baby it... but dont race it...

Place called Tuffy, when it wouldnt work, took it to a different tuffy, they couldnt figure it out, so they installed the Duralast clutch. Pissed me off, cause they didnt lower the subframe, and scratched the @!#$ out of trans, as well as let it lay all over the floor with all kinds of other motor fluids. Wasn't too thrilled with either of the place's services, but was glad to get my car back at that point. I think i had a bad slave (was brand new), and it was replaced as well as the master. Cost a bundle, but got lucky, and my neighbor's daughter hit my bumper and fender scratching the paint, and leaving me with $ in my pocket out of it. Might try to reinstall it someday when i can get a chance.
