One last thing. I don't want to pay for the GM flywheel in the kit because I am going to go with an aluminum Flywheel. Do you know the part number for just the LS7 clutch?

I did get this part # from my local dealer 24255748 he wanted $250 I get a good price from him. Not sure as to why you want to get a aluminum flywheel to save 10 pounds for the cost!
Did you read the 1st post on this post from tech not a lot of fans of that flywheel for a street car. Good luck

I just had the Ls7 clutch installed and I know that there is probably some protocol for breaking it in. Can anyone give me a good ideal on the best way to break it in so I get the maximum life out of it

I must be missin somethin here. ok i had a t-56 spec stage 2 and a nice throw out bearing. No more than 420hp. it was great,strong,fast shiftin.hard clutch pedal. so whats the hype on a ls7 setup? Say u have a new t-56 with stage 2 clutch n allumn. flywheel. and say same thing with the ls7 setup. whats the diff?

Hey Everyone, I have a 2000 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 ls1 with a 6 speed. I am having clutch problems. I'm sure it's my master/slave cylinder, but would like to know some opinions before i re-invest this type of cash in the car again. I have the tick master with the bleeder hose and currently it will not pump up to bleed out. ..... Silly question but is there a conversion to a non-hydraulic 6 speed setup?
I purchased this set up back in October of 2010 from Mark at Kentucky Speed:

Rear Main Seal 89060436

Hurst Shifter HUU-3915061

Tick Performance Remote Clutch Speed Bleeder Line
P.S. I drive this car as a daily driver so seriously most of the miles have been "highway" but I do drive it like a sports car is meant to be driven, like it doesn't belong to me. I have 90,000 miles on this setup.Last edited by Oldsmobileman; 04-28-2014 at 04:26 PM.

I would say 90k on any clutch in these cars is pretty good especially if your driving it like your suppose to. I would get another Ls7 set up

Agree. If you do have 90k on that clutch then it's long past time. Tick MC's are the best. I'm willing to bet that the slave has lived its full life span and has gone out.
I've only heard of hydraulics used with the T56. Stick with the OEM slave.
How many miles on the transmission itself? I'm on 170k and currently doing a rebuild on it. How long they last depends on how aggressive you drive. But at some point the syncros & bearings will need replaced.

I have 185,000+ miles on body and tranny. The motor was replaced before I purchased the car. It's a great Trans am. One of my favorite cars. It has sub frame connectors welded in. Slp intake, and flow master exhaust. No smog pump and a k&n filter. Other than that pretty stock aside from the clutch upgrade I did.
The tranny could use a rebuild. I've had to hold the clutch in when putting it in reverse since I've owned it or it pops out and or grinds and when it's cold first gear sometimes grinds. But it's done these things since my ownership began so you just get used to it. I always cringe when someone else drives it because I know they are gomna grind the hell outta my gears! Maybe when I pull it I will freshen it up, or I do have a spare six speed maybe just build it all the way, bearings and syncros. Hard to find a good mechanic at an affordable rate in Sarasota, FL.

Yeah it's time for a rebuild. Your syncros are gone.
Tick Performance does a great rebuild on T56's. For the stage 2 it's about $1500 base price. Add a Viper 2nd gear a little more. You can get the parts kit for a stage 2 build for around $600, Viper 2nd gear runs $260 and premium bearings another $150 if you think you can do it yourself or have a shop that will do it for you.
I'm currently in the middle of my rebuild. If interested I can give you sites in a PM where to get the parts. Let me know in a PM.

It has a much longer tooth engagement over the early f body t56's I've read that in 01 they started installing it in the t56 f bodies but that was a post and have not be able to confirm.
Here is the pic I took. You can see the difference.
This with the stage II build kit enables the T56 to handle 650 ftlbs of torque vs the 500 ftlbs the standard T56 does.
