Hey guys, I'm new to the Forum and the Cobalt scene in general.
Picked up a used SS/TC a few months ago and it's on the stock clutch/flywheel. It's also around 125k miles.
I know for a fact I'm going to need a new clutch soon and will be buying a new OEM Flywheel with it. Not going with any Lightweight ones.
I don't exactly know the power estimate for my current mods, but hopefully someone can recommend me a somewhat inexpensive option for a clutch. I haven't had any problems with the stock one slipping yet.

Mod list:
Dejon SRI
Dejon Intercooler pipes
Catless DP
Trifecta Tune pushing 23 peak and 21 holding

I know the stock LNF clutch will work (my driving habits are good, shifting at around 3200-3500 1-2 2-3, never flooring past 3k and rolling into throttle beforehand) but I'd like to know which aftermarket clutch would be the best for this setup.

 

Ecotec LSJ Clutch Upgrade Kit 19212712

GMPP clutch kit, holds more power than it is rated for, and is the best clutch option for stock turbo cars. Even some guys with bigger turbos use it. When aligning the pressure plate cut a standard white bic pen into 3 pieces and stick it on the dowels to help align everything.

Make sure to get new flywheel bolts, as they are torque-to-yield(one time use).

Also recommend getting at least the clutch elbow as well.

^ what he said.

 

The product description says don't use with lnf. Is there something I missed? Or does op have a turbo lsj?

 

I think it has to do with warranty. Technically there is no GM warranty if installed, but if you have a GM dealer installed it, I doubt you will have a warranty issue with it.

It has been used by tons of people with no issue.

It's the go to replacement clutch for sub 350whp

 

i actually had the gm dealer put mine in when my trans went. they actually called me and asked if i wanted that clutch put in and i said mise well since the trans was under warranty and the put the clutch in for nothing that clutch works great man you wont have any problems with it

 

Ok cool. Wasn't sure, now I know haha. I was looking at it before, now I'll probably consider it since I don't think I'll be adding much more power than I have for a while. Thanks for the info.

 

So it'll definitely hold the ~360 wheel torque? And everything in that kit will work on an LNF with an F35?

 

Correct. Just make sure to get at least the flywheel bolts as well, they are one time use.

 

Absolutely, but is the clutch elbow necessary if I'm having no hydraulic/clutch related problems? My catch point on my stock LNF clutch is pretty low on the pedal (like ~25% clutch pushed in) so I don't know if there's any problems.

 

It's not necessary, but if you're going to be there you may as well replace it, cheap insurance. I went as far as replacing the hose from the elbow to the master as well, as I figured all new would be best.

 

Stock

It's a beast of a clutch if your tuner is worth a **** and your driving habits aren't that of an F-boy

Make sure you're planning to replace the master clutch cylinder right along with the clutch pipe and slave.

Good luck dude
