Well, let's add some more cost to the bill.
I figured as long as the transmission will be out of the car, I
should replace the clutch while we're at it. It only makes sense to me! :L And besides, I've been thinking about it for awhile anyhow.
I've decided to go with
McLeod after some
"channeling with the spirits, throwing the bones and conversing with the gods."
Now, I've spent hours today shopping around to compare prices and can't find much at all. I couldn't find McLeod at
Jeg's,
Summit, or numerous other known aftermarket distributors.
I
did find a McLeod application for my Corvette at
RaceSearch.com, but it was lacking in any description whatsoever other than
1985-1988
Size (O.D. & Spline): 10.75 x 1-1/8 x 26
Application: Street
Pressure Plate: Diaphragm
(The price quoted was
Retail -$316.00, Our Price - $278.08)
I also found a referrence to one at
Internet Racers Supply:
McLeod Dual Performance Clutch Disc & Pressure Plate Assy 1985-88 L-98
for $229.95, but once again that was all the information to be found.
They also had clutch assemblies for the 1989-1990 L98 and 1992-1996 LT1 at $424.95, and 1990-1995 ZR-1 for $445.95.
There were also several referrences to the Dual Disc Clutch kit, including flywheel, but those were for the LT1 and up Z28 Camaros. Amongst them was this from
L.G. Motorsports for $1150.00:
1993-97 LT1
Street Twin Clutch Assembly
1 1/8 X 26 Spline
Aluminum Flywheel
(with a steel flywheel it was $825.00)
I know that McLeod makes the
Soft Lok & Soft Lok I for the street (their web site has that info), but I can't tell from any of these sites just what it is they are offering.
Is McLeod's distributorship that limited?
All of the comparison shopping services like AltaVista or My Simon, etc. only cater to automobile sales or nothing automotive at all. How can I find a fair price
with a clear description of the item?
I've gotta come up with a good price; Dave said he'd try to match it.
