Hey all,
This is my first post on here, but I've been searching for info on here about how to install an LS7 clutch in my 06 GTO like crazy. Not gonna lie, it was hard to find info about how to actually do it even though it seems to be popular. Also, it seems that the knowledge base articles are gone. From what I understood, I needed to keep the GTO pilot bearing and the GTO slave cylinder, and use the LS2/LS7 Corvette flywheel with the pressure plate and clutch disc. That's exactly what I installed. Please someone let me know if any of that sounds off. The install went pretty smoothly, until trying to get the last inch of the transmission to install on the bell housing. We got stuck there and it would not go in, even after greasing the input shaft a good amount and also making sure it was lined up with studs sticking out of the bell housing. It seemed like it was getting stuck on the pilot bearing since it was only the last inch. I know this part isn't recommended, but we decided to slowly and evenly both the transmission back in to get that last inch to go. It seemed to go in easily at that point. After getting everything installed, I now have a noise only when I push the clutch pedal in when the car is on, but not when it's off. It sounds like somethings rubbing. Do you guys have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Alex
