Could it be that once you got the super-duper RPS clutch you started driving / shifting more aggressively? That would explain it.
If you start reading other threads with clutch issues, you'll notice people are having this issue with SPEC, RAM, ZR1 (and all other names this clutch is known as).
This is a GM problem not an LPE problem, LPE just re-sells clutch kits, and their own return spring fix. They don't even make the ZR1 clutch.



I hear you, and agree. If I didn't mod my vehicle as much as I have I would sell to. But, I'm in too deep now (I rather like the car too except for the f**k up design of the internals).
Before, you sell make sure you raise hell with GM, otherwise they'll just keep selling the car with the problems it has.
This vehicle 2010, 2011 has been around for a while now, and every single person I know with a Camaro has this issue. It's pretty difficult for GM to deny there is a big problem here. But, yet you don't hear anyone from GM on the forums asking questions or attempting to help, all they care about is selling the ZL1 to all the suckers who'll trade in the messed up 2010 Camaro comeback for a ZL1, and that's not right.
So, call the head office and complain before you sell.

I agree with you.. I noticed on the box that it was made in china... not by LPE....

Maybe your right.. but when I had my ram clutch... I was going to the track every weekend.. I must of had 20 passes on it... It never stuck to the floor...

Now I can even go to the track.. not like this.. and I have a brand new set of bogarts in my garage...( I havent even mounted the tires yet cause of this) that are of no use to me right now. I would look like an idiot at the track...


Im determend to fix this... I'm thinking of buying a small video camara... and put if in the bell house and record my throw out bearing and pressure plate at high rpm shifts....
