The pedal hit the floor so I pulled it back up , I checked the fluid and it didn't look like I lost any
After the car sat for a bit and cooled the pedal had a little bit of pressure, I put the car in second gear and pressed the clutch in and pushed the start button
The car lurched forward and started walking due to the starter , the car turned on and I took off
I shifted to 3rd no clutch and got onto the hwy , after a few miles and the oil temp went down I checked the pedal and had about 75% of pressure , that was good enough to get me home

I'm gonna change tranny fluids while the clutch gets changed
From what ive readf Motul 300ls for manual tranny and rear diff is the way to go
Any other oils I should look at ?

Which brand/weight Flywheel did you choose?

Southbend puts out a good clutch kit. I went with the ACT HDSS clutch kit with a ACT Streetlite Flywheel 19lbs. I happy with it. It did require a 300-500 mile break-in period. Luckily I have not experienced any Flywheel chatter.

I should be picking up my Z tomorrow night from AAM.. (hopefully). They've had it since Friday, as soon as the shop opened.

That's good news! Did you go for transmission flush & MOTUL Gear Oil also?

I would think they did the transmission flush, as they did do the CSC which required them opening up the transmission. At this point Im not sure, this is why I cant stand handing my car over to shops. (you just never know)
