I got my car a year ago. 69 z/28 80k miles and all original. I only drove it twice before the heater core went and the can of worms went all over the place. 6 months went by while I did a complete bumper to bumper mechanical rebuild. The trans was checked out and new seals installed. The engine was freshened with new bearings rings etc. Still a standard bore with original pistons etc.
I have been fighting a vibration at 3500 rpm since I got it on the road. Nothing made sense since everything was original and should have been balanced. The clutch was the only variable (after the new harmonic balancer was put in because the old one had a slight wobble). I finally pulled the trans and clutch last night and vibration went away. The new clutch I installed was the culprit. So now I need another and I was wondering what everyone else is using? I will not be going to the drag strip and I do not want to have a super hard pedal. Something smooth and high quality so I don't have to go through this again. Cost is not really an issue at this point. I just want a good reliable smooth clutch. Any ideas?
