stock LS9 twin disk

[RoadconeTuning]

anyone driven one? how does it compare to other stock clutches? what about aftermarket stuff? Katech sells this kit with a custom flywheel so it'll work with everything else since the LS9 has an extra flywheel bolt. its 8lbs lighter than a LS7 clutch/flywheel package and 800tq holding with "stock engagement"

My monster stg 3 cost half that, with the lighter flywheel. I did have some chatter during the break-in period, but none now.

[LXtasy]

joe, that is because it is rusted to the flywheel now

[Carlrx7]

with the cost of the clutch, there are a lot of good choices to chose from.

I ended up going with the RPS Street twin carbon. Seems to be holding up well.

Better options for the cost.

[GreebeanZ28]

I bought 2 used exedys for half that.

[Matts94Z28]

Why

[03SVTCOBRA]

can i have the stock one when you take it off? I need to sail it.

Lol

[Carlrx7]

i have a stock ls2 you can sail*...

















don't pay attention to the line below.
*by taking free clutch you agree to pay 40k for my tt corvette

[RoadconeTuning]

everyone i've seen with a single disk clutch for an ls motor has spent a grand for it and had an on/off switch.

I bought 2 used exedys for half that.

buying your used one that needs rebuild w/ parts is about the same price as a new LS9X or RPS clutch... its still an option but i'm just seeing if anyone has used it.

I've driven a 2010 Camaro that had a stock LS9 clutch and the Lingenfelter adapter flywheel. Butter smooth.

I may have a line on a brand new take-off LSA clutch, if interested.

Agree. I haven't driven a single that had good capacity that didn't have a crazy stiff pedal or on/off engagement.

Some people like a stiff clutch pedal. I hate it. I guess its mental that to grab it must be stiff, but nowadays thats not always the case.

It's a no-brainer IMO. Sprung hubs, aluminum flywheel/steel ring, rag clutch, dual disc, lighter than LS7, stock engagement, 800RWHP/800TQ, cheaper than any other dual disc................. It's been my choice for my next clutch since it came out.

I've had 'several' different vendor clutches over the years from $800-$1,700 and they were either ON/OFF switches or so damn heavy (McLeod Street Twin) that it was just stupid. The only exception to all of them was the Textralia 0700AB clutch that I put in my wifes T/A. It was like stock too.

Half that amount you mean. And its not used, its previously loved. Just means its proven to do fucking work sonS.

[RoadconeTuning]

the only twin disk i've driven anywhere was an exedy twin in an EVO and that was just moving it around during a photoshoot but i liked the engagement on it.

make sure its a GT04SD and i'll see where i can get parts from, last i looked thats one of the few that exedy makes you special order stuff for.

Wtf do you need a twin disc for a bolt on car?????

[Matts94Z28]

To take turn in the mountains while not driving on the race track of course.

And drive to those cars and coffee shows.

[GreebeanZ28]

I has twin disk!

[RoadconeTuning]

Wtf do you need a twin disc for a bolt on car?????

1000 bucks for a single disk or a little more for a lighter twin... why settle for a single disk is my question?

[blkscls1z]

Couldn't tell hardly any difference from the Mcleod RXT Twin to the stock LS7 clutch. I was running a billet steel flywheel though. I bet Redline could get a good price for you!

$430 is a "little" more? Man you really are a baller...

He's upstate foo! You know how they role!

[ForceFed4g63]

Apparently so lol, I don't think I've ever paid more than 5 or 6 hundred bucks for a clutch/flywheel setup.

[RoadconeTuning]

its one of those places you really cant cheap out... people buy 400 dollar converters and wonder why their shit will 60ft and fall on its face on top end instead of spending 1000 on one. It also helps to know people with parts laying around.

Apparently so lol, I don't think I've ever paid more than 5 or 6 hundred bucks for a clutch/flywheel setup.

i got the clutch in the cobalt at a hooked up price of 1050 shipped. Exedy Hyper single. only other option to upgrade beyond stock was lightweight flywheel for 350 and 775 for a southbend/DXD/ZZP clutch... i dropped something like 22lbs off the clutch/flywheel combo with that.

Step up to a man's car. Lmao!:cheers

[ForceFed4g63]

Didn't see that coming lol. Mine is good for 600+ so that's not too shabby

[MonteC]

Just put a twin disk setup in a customers diesel farm truck. 1500 bucks for the clutch alone. South Bend.

[1997b4c]

No way that car needs a clutch lmao.

[RoadconeTuning]

all the other ls3 cars come with an ls7 clutch, gxp's did not and got the worlds wimpiest setup. the stock clutch pedal is "absurdly light" per motor trend... cobalt had the same kinda clutch to start with, they had the clutch slip before the tires would to help the car hook and keep it from tearing stuff up from idiots doing rev limit clutch dumps.

[REDRAGTOPRS]

My base model vette has a LS9 ZR1 clutch in it. I love it. It grabs like no tommorow! But then again, it's just a measly base model vette.....:cheers

[RoadconeTuning]

i've been reading that it doest seem to work as well in the heavier cars. I've got a lead on another setup tho.
