Product Details

Common Issues It May Address

• Soft or inconsistent clutch pedal feel

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1989-1993 Chevrolet Corvette, N/A. Fits 1996 Chevrolet Corvette, N/A. Verify the vehicle’s hydraulic clutch setup before installation and follow the included instructions during replacement. Because this unit is not pre-filled or pre-bled, the hydraulic system will need to be filled and bled after installation. Confirm push rod engagement and inspect the surrounding clutch hydraulic components for wear before returning the vehicle to service.
