Corvette Clutch Replacement Pt. 1

[@joshbrown1381]

I just replaced the manual transmission unit on a 2017 stingray for the first time. I was a journey but its moving along. The gear oil cooler and separate traction control system was interesting surprise.

[@southfloridagearheads]

I haven't done one on a c7 yet. sounds like there are a few additional steps and things to look out for. thanks for sharing

Hey I am Leo messaging from Guam. I noticed you have Guam flag on the wall. Right now I am working on my 2000 Corvette LS1 replacing the slave cylinder. Awesome video you have.

[@southfloridagearheads]

Hey Leo! I like your youtube name "ako pinoy lang" Mabuhay kuya Leo! I hope your corvette project is going well. cheers from Florida.

Love that Guam flag on the wall

[@YELLOW08Z06]

I’m I’ll need a clutch soon after my B3 cam swap .. FYI your cam videos help me through that cam swap process

[@southfloridagearheads]

awesome!

[@Tom-uf2um]

Nice job. 👍

[@southfloridagearheads]

Thanks! stay tuned for part 2

[@GTStuning-]

Walmart is the best for oil I agree, Pennzoil synthetic 5w30 and Rotella t6 5w40 are my go to oils there. Too bad they don't sell Wix oil filters, at least not yet.

[@southfloridagearheads]

Yeah filters I normally order off amazon in two packs.

[@101Grunt]

One step closer 🤘🏼

[@DUMONTSNIPER2]

Got a quick question, what did u disconnect at the front torque tube? did u just pull everything back and it comes out? from like the input shaft?

[@southfloridagearheads]

at the front there is just the Trans cooler lines, clutch slave line and then the bolts into the bell housing.

[@DUMONTSNIPER2]

@@southfloridagearheads yea got those out. inside the torque tube/bell housing where the slave cylinder is, does that input shaft just cone right out? i think all im missing is the shifter inside and everything should be ready to pull out

[@southfloridagearheads]

@@DUMONTSNIPER2 yes just slides out. obviously support the motor and get the angle on the torque tube dropped down.

[@DUMONTSNIPER2]

@@southfloridagearheads ah ok. yea i just have that throwout bearing line left and thats it

[@RedBird2.0]

How did you end up getting the bell housing out?

[@southfloridagearheads]

it's a battle If there is a stock clutch in there. put a jack under the oil pan and adjust the motor height. should get you the proper amount of room. will go together alot easier with a twin disc

[@RedBird2.0]

@@southfloridagearheadsThank you sir. We got her but what a battle it was lol. We're buttoning it up now. How has your rxt held up? That's what I put in mine.

[@southfloridagearheads]

@@RedBird2.0 no issues since install. great clutch.

[@sergiomclean3201]

What brand rotors are those?

[@natez0690]

What brand is the Big Brake Kit on this car? I’ve never seen 2-piece rotors like those before. Been a sub from the beginning. Great work guys!

[@southfloridagearheads]

Thanks for the comment and following along! It's a Brembo kit.

[@omaralvarez945]

what service manual book are u using?

[@southfloridagearheads]

The factory GM one. You can get it from zipcorvette

[@omaralvarez945]

Thank you

[@dsm1stgen]

I'm needing a clutch very soon. How do you like this clutch...drivability? I'm looking for something more for the street with occasional drag. 700whp is hurting my stock clutch, lol

[@southfloridagearheads]

It's a great clutch, drivability is good. It holds up to heat great also so no issues launching the car. What power adder are you running to get at 700whp?

[@dsm1stgen]

@@southfloridagearheadsthats good to know, ill be doing the job soon and posting a video. 100hp wet shot. Going to the track this weekend, clutch dont fail me now!

[@southfloridagearheads]

@@dsm1stgen awesome! I want to add a 100 shot in the future. let me know how it goes ill keep an eye out for your video!

[@RobertFinger-fq3su]

How much horsepower will the corvette be making? And you should put a supercharger on it to get extra HP

[@Brittlespeed]

No reason it shouldn't make 600-620

[@southfloridagearheads]

Should be over 600

[@RobertFinger-fq3su]

@@southfloridagearheads oh my god

[@Chris-yq7xv]

Mobil 1 0-40wt European Blend does not meet GM spec. The correct oil for Corvettes is Mobil 1 ESP Formula 0W-40 synthetic motor oil

[@southfloridagearheads]

The ESP formula was developed to help protect the newer vehicles emission systems and support direct injection engines which is only on the c7 generation and newer.. So what you stated doesn't even apply to this generation of vehicles.
