Im in same boat I have 08 Z33 trans with internal slave cylinder still doing research for my setup, things I learned so far need
A adapter plate
B machine trans bell housing
C trans cross mender
D modify shifter linkage and shifter bracket
E slave cylinder spacer kit for 07 up trans
F clutch line
G drive shaft
H modify trans tunnel
I cut shifter hole farther back
J figure out how to make tach to work
I also would like to hear feedback to see if people think its worth it or not, is it smooth engagement? how's the power band, any weird noise etc. and I heard this guy is sometimes hard to get a hold of.

Running it and it fits perfect. Having issues with the oem concentric slave cylinder however. Keeps blowing out. Gone thru two in under 3k miles

I think it might be an issue because of the spacer did you check to see that the hard line that goes into slave cylinder/ bearing is not cocked? Since the spacer would put it further out of position.
There use to be a recall on 07 and some 08 slave cylinder and I seen them fail if they weren't installed right

if you are using an aftermarket pressure plate with more than 800kg clamping force you are blowing the seal on the OE CSC. make sure you aren't hyperextending the CSC and if you are within spec let me know. we sell Tilton Race Slave cylinders with adapter plate to replace the shitty OEM plastic peace.

That sucks bro so what is actually happening, is the bearing seizing up? losing line pressure? Did you use that spacer kit ( assuming you have 07 08 trans ) any pics?

They burst when used with a clutch with a stiffer pressure plate than oem. Best bet is to go with the Z1 heavy duty concentric slave cylinder, extremely durable.

Also, i've been seeing stories recently of people's input shaft bearing's going out because of the transmission adapter plates not using dowel pins to center the transmission... So idk what we can do about that.

[TheRealSy90]

So anybody have info on tearing up the input shaft bearing due to no dowel pins?
