Clutch replacement tips
Hey guys,this is my first thread/post,and its kind of important.
I picked up a 94 camaro about a month ago,upon doing so,I was told the clutch was replaced,however,during the test drive it was painfully obvious there was major slippage.
Its been about 2k now and its almost undrivable,which isn't good.
Now for the questions...
-What could cause a new clutch to slip soooo bad? Maybe he was lying?
-The "ABS inop" light is on,any relevance there?
-Where can I find a good write up for clutch replacement? I've never done one before,a little nervous.
-Is it normal to be nervous when doing it yourself?
Thanks guys.

Slipping clutch: Worn out disk, glazed flywheel and/or pressure plate, weak or damaged pressure plate, improper assembly, wrong parts, oil in clutch, clutch linkage messed up, etc..
ABS Inop: Nothing to do with cluch, but the ABS is not working
Instructions: Go to a parts store and buy a repair manual covering your car, or get a Factory Service Manual.

Go grab a manual. If you end up putting a clutch in, a pretty popular upgrade is the LS7 clutch kit. It's a direct replacement and will handle tons of power. We sell the kit for $431.
