LSX/t56 clutches- whatcha using?

[turbogarrett]

Just want to see what everyone is using , thoughts and opinions. After 2 years and 16k miles of abuse, my spec 3 is starting to show signs that its days are numbered. My only complaint of it would be the chattering. I'm thinking of trying spec's new 3+ ~$550 and reusing my fidanza al flywheel, or textralia x pad/8 lb flywheel combo $1000+(yikes!)

[Yooformula]

If I make it another season with mine, I will save for the textralia combo otherwise I may just rebuild mine again. I am using a mcleod single disc, steel flywheel.
$150 to basically replace EVERYTHING under their rebuild program, but you cant beat that deal even if it just buys ya another year.

I did a Spec Stage 3i (the sintered iron disc)

held up to my 460rwhp and 6500rwpm clutch dumps to a 1.4 60ft. i'd do it again if i was a 6-speed car.

Spec stage 3 here... about 3K miles on it so far.

A lot of people are switching to an LS-7 clutch kit, and have nothing but good things to say about it.
If mine goes... I'll be going the LS-7 route.

[Yooformula]

Details about the LS7 clutch....please. Is it a direct fit? Cheaper than aftermarket or about the same? Will stock hydraulics work?

[Brian98GTP]

You can buy the kit from T56rebuilds.com and it will cost about $550 shipped to your door.
LS-2 flywheel is needed for it to bolt up.

Complete LS7 Clutch Kit including Pressure Plate, Clutch Disk and LS2 Flywheel ......... $550.00 (Free shipping).

[Yooformula]

holy s h i t thats a good price, what kind of power with that thing hold?

[Brian98GTP]

Im not sure how MUCH horsepower it'll hold,... but its designed to hold the 500+ ponies of the LS-7... :thumbsup

[TransAm12sec]

In a much lighter car however.

[turbogarrett]

I've thought about the ls7, but don't really want to go back to a heavy flywheel and am planning on spraying the car someday. I know a guy who is running one in his 402ci ls2 rx7 and is happy with it so far (142 mph traps:stare ) I'm leaning toward the spec 3+ which also has a full face disc, should be a little smoother on the street than the 6 puck.

Spec Stage 3. Mc Load ADJ Master and Spec Billet STEEL flywheel. No chatter. I love it and has held up great.

McLeod...if you can swing it.
If it were me, I would rather spend more once.
Doing anything over because you could have done better in the first place sucks.
My $.02

[Crazy Z28]

I 've had the spec stage 3 for about 2 years and the chatter is really starting to bother me. :fire

[hllywd]

I just put 260 miles on my Textralia clutch.
Shes just about ready for some strip time.
It feels nice and tight, some chatter but Im just getting used to it.
I have a feeling Im gonna need some drag radials to really appreciate this baby.
I love it.

If you are using the stock master and line, did you do the "drill" mod? Did you use the shims spec supplies?

[A B4C Z]

Tom did the drill mod to mine it still sucked. Go with a Mc Load asjustable its like 300 but worth it.

When I'm buying the LS7 myself.

[Yooformula]

Nice thing about the mcloed is it is rebuildable also!

[loudrsls1]

yeah. thats a good point. ive had the trani in and out of that car so many times. because of that cluch. time to switch masters as well i think.

[Brian98GTP]

Mcleod adj. here too, and it took care of my WOT shifting issues.....

I hope I never HAVE to rebuild it, but its nice to know you CAN.

[Cleveland Dave]

i need a that mcloed master cylinder thing i have some crappy issues with WOT shifting
