91-92 Firehawk flywheel and clutch questions?

I was wondering, the original 25 Firehawks used the ZF 6-speed out of the C4 Corvettes and had a special bellhousing made up to be able to fit them into the F-body. Does anybody know if the Firehawks also used the same dual mass flywheel and clutch combination? Or was their clutch setup also custom?

Re: 91-92 Firehawk flywheel and clutch questions?

The firehawk has its own bellhousing.
From what I have taken pix of, seen and remember the base hawks used the factory Fbody 1piece seal flywheel clutch disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, fork and hydraulics.
The aluminum 2 piece seal motor cars used a dif flywheel from a 85? T5 setup?
It also uses its own stamped steel trans Xmember. But a 89 TTA part will work.

Sounds right but the input shaft on the ZF tranny is different.

I'll have to see if it still uses the late model GM spline disc.
