Ken: 3 year old information. My clutch went out on my '99 and had it replaced. The clutch disc and plate are a set then the slave cylinder separate. Used the C6Z parts and it cost about $1500 including labor. 4 months later I had clutch problems again and figured warranty. No such luck.
The new slave, GM Part, was leaking and saturated my clutch disc with fluid. This time I had the whole works done while it was apart. Full clutch and slave, torque tube bushings, rear seal and rear wheel seals. I also added a remote bleeded for changing the fluid and bleeding the clutch, this has been a God sent. It took at least 2 months the to get the darn air out of the system, this is probably partly my fault for not having a clue the how to bleed the new clutch systems. I tried every method known to man and the other Forum. I finally let the remote hang below the Vette and I tuck it into the driver side wheel well cover. Today I change the fluid about once a year by cracking the remote connection, letting the fluid gravity drain under the Vette while I'm topping off the reservior until it runs clean fluid, tighten it up and all is well. Just under $2000.
Good luck

By the way I'm pushing 165k on the old gal, had it since it was new.

So during all this I stop to ponder.......
I use my clutch and gears far more then my brakes. I virtually never go through the gears up and not go back down through them as I reduce speed.
I wonder if my driving habits have contributed greatly to the slave cyl. going "kaput"?
Maybe I need to learn to just kick her in neutral and use my brakes.:shrug01:
Your a smart man Kap. All the hype, promises and discussion about satisfied customers goes out the window when they assign some Bubba to work on your Baby.
