Hey guys, 2 days ago my clutch began to feel soft like jello. The first day i started it up to go meet up with the boys, it felt normal until i got on the highway. Shifting gears clutch began to get soft, i eased up on driving it hard for the night, no pulls. As the night went on it stayed soft, but as i was coming back home, it started to get abit harder, not sure maybe because it got colder? My friends had mixed emotions, some said it will come back to normal, other's said to change fluid and see from there. I got home, parked it and checked the clutch fluid. Dirty as hell but i know that for the clutch to be soft from fluid, there needs to be air bubbles in the line's or for the fluid to be low, clean or dirty it shouldnt effect the clutch feeling if it was full. So i got back inside and did my research. Who knew that our cars were the only one's to have concentric slave cylinder problems, literally google csc and all you'll see is 350/370's. Anyways today i started it up, went on a 10 min drive, clutch was back to normal, was back to being stiffer, but then got reeeeal soft just as i got back home. As the car got warmer, clutch got softer, so i knew i was dealing with a csc problem.

After spending the last day & a half on forum's, facebook, youtube & instagram, i realized alot of guys have had this problem, but they have taken different approaches to it. They either got a heavy duty concentric slave cylinder like Zpeed or JWT, or have just deleted the csc and relocated a traditional release bearing outside of the transmission hooked up to a racing style pull-type slave cylinder.

I have just opted to go ahead with a custom fabbed delete kit made in-house at my local g/z specialty garage, and while my trans is off the car, i've decided to go with the South Bend Stage 3 6 puch Drag clutch. The Exedy NF05 lightweight flywheel, and the custom csc delete made with top of the line products, basically best of both worlds from the Z1 delete kid & the Zspeed CMAK kit.

I didn't just go stage 3 for no reason to those wondering, as i plan on going boost in the future. So this is one less headache i need to deal with for when the time comes to go forced induction.

To those who have done either a heavy duty csc or a delete kit, if you can go back in time, would you still go with what you chose & what were the inconveniences you faced, thanks a bunch.
