im about to buy and install a new clutch on my car and i wanted to know if anyone has an opinion on what brand and style would be best for my kind of driving

this car is an everyday driver so i cant have a super stiff clutch because i drive to much every day but i am looking for something better then stock and somthing that can withstand a beating

 

Try this site here . Click on clutchs at the top left. This guy has a little write up of a few different clutchs he has had in his car. I just installed a Autozone (PN# NU31265) $270 w/ a LIFETIME warranty clutch. I have a stock Z-28 and it works great. I only have like 300 miles on it but so far so good. Hope this helps bro.

For your mods a Spec stage II would probalby be a good choice. I am very happy with mine. I can't feel a difference with it over stock other then it grabs sooner and harder. Hard enough to chirp my Nitto DRs. Yet it can be diven very smooth with little to no clutch chatter.

Just go with stock for now. I am not a manual guy, but I know a guy with a 383 ported heads,cam,juice and all that good stuff who is using the stock clutch. It has been in there for awhile and will need to be replaced soon, but it can handle more than you think.

 

I'll give another vote for the SPEC Stage II. I wasn't really happy with it at first, but it seems it just took longer than the normal break-in period to start grabbing hard. Now it grabs harder and sooner than the stocker like said above. It doesn't have any chatter though and is completely fine for normal driving.

 

whats the diff from stage II and III

 

What about the Spec stage II and a Z06 for both price and performance? My car is also a daily driver and will be lightly modded for a while (CAI, catback, PCM flash)

 

is there anything i should replace or do when i have my tranny dropped and im replacing the clutch

 

the spec stage II on there website is $500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is that a good price


---if so i need somthing more affordable any suggestions?

 

i paid 680ish for stage III and billet steel flywheel.. try ls1motorsports.com i got it from there fast, and i LOVE the III, it feels near stock... and DAM does it grip... grips so hard, i snapped my axle! lol but... was at track, street i just spun... ordering moser hardened axles.. should be here in 1 week or two

 

I don't think the SPEC Stg III for a LS1 is the same as the Stg III for an LT1 car. Prices are quite different also.

The Stage III LT1 clutch uses ceramic pucks and the II uses kevlar I believe. Both still employ a sprung hub to my knowledge.

ok well that clutch is outta my price range



can anybody suggest somthing better then stock that costs less
then the spec

 

You could just go with a stock disc and SLP PP. That's what I'm using now. I'm not sure how well it will hold up, but its a cheaper way to go. Check it out on T Byrne's website. They are a sponser here.

And while you have the trans down, replace the rear main seal in the crankshaft and have the flywheel resurfaced.

 

spec clutch isnt 680, i bought a new flywheel too...(that included shipping also)

clutch was around 350 i think

 

a spec III for the lt1 is around 470-500 depending where you go.
