Gm upgraded clutch part# 19212712. Kit contains clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing. All the ppl who hae it what do you think? How does it feel, can it be daily driver? How does it grip? Does it slip? How much to install? And any other info that u might feel is important. Thanks

 

Well I don't have the clutch...But, i did consider it for my clutch when mine went bad. For the price you can't beat the clutch you get. I've heard a lot of people enjoy the upgraded clutch and a lot of people i know that went to tvs is still using the upgraded clutch. Now for price it really depends on your area I suppose. When i was getting quotes I got quotes that were in the $800 - $200, You just have to ask around. The cheapest way to do it is to find a friend or a local guy that knows how to replace clutch in fwd cars and see how much he would charge. I got lucky and found an awesome guy/preacher that done mine for $250.00 and had it done in like 4 hrs.

DO NOT GO TO A GM DEALERSHIP....The tried to charge me 1500 for the install one a stock clutch :P

 

i just bought mine last week and it's sitting in my room, i'm planning on installing it this weekend. i've heard some good things about this clutch and looking at your mods, it should work great

i would highly assume that it'll be prefectly fine for daily driving and should easily hold your power.

i agree with redline4, do not go to the dealership, they'll over charge you. also do not go to aamco, i called them and they said like $1200+ for installation, screw that!

if you can't install it yourself, i'd recommend finding a local shop, the one near me said like $500 for installation.

 

My buddy is running this clutch on his car which is a turbo swapped lsj and he tracks it almost every weekend and so it handles the abuse fine he says. You cant beat it for the price.

 

I have a hydrolic problem with my clutch system so I'm changin everything clutch, fly wheel, pressure plate, throw out, slave, master and the guy wants to charge me 990 to install all that. What you guys think of that price? By the way I live in new york city

 

that's good to hear, i was wondering if this clutch would handle the power of a TVS or turbo swap

that's alot of parts to install.... in all honesty... that doesn't sound like a bad price for all that. how much will it cost to purchase everything tho?

 

Gm clutch kit comes with (clutch,pressure plate and throw out w/ slave)i--259.95 master cyl--120.09
Slave cyl piping--7.98
Fly wheel--137.68

 

go to www.gmpartsdirect.com

i bought the clutch kit for $236 + shipping

looked up the flywheel and it was $108 + shipping

didn't look up the other parts.

 

The parts r cheap but if u read there faq you'll see that they jack up the shipping cost to make a profit. Do the math crate engine depot comes out to be 20 less not includin shippin so I would say roughly there about the same $

 

i paid $290 shipped for my clutch kit from GMPartsDirect.com and i had it at my house in a few days.

 

And crate engine depot charges 259.95 for the clutch so unless there chargein $30 for shippin ced would b cheaper

 

from what I've heard from other people, it's a great DD clutch.

Just don't hit up the track with it using slicks.

 

Yea I saw that post lol that suks ya kno. Is there a way I could change my clutch myself?

 

if you are mechanically intelligent, i believe you could. i found an article someone posted in the "how to" section, let me go find it and post the link in here for you.

post #2 has a link to the article.

 

I jus saw it. Lol I don't trust myself to do a job like that

 

hahaha i thought the same thing, but then i realized that my bank account sucks! so i've gained confidence and i'll be doing it myself.... trying to start tomorrow night after work and then finish it up friday night after work.

 

before ZZP recently put down the fastest LSJ time, the other one run by JC was the fastest for a long time. 12.6 was run on that clutch

 

do u need to replace the master cyl?

 

Good luck with the clutch swap. Let me kno how it goes. Take pics

 

haha, thanks. i'll try to remember to take pics.

 

I got this clutch installed.....LOVE IT!!!.....heres my thread I made...https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...NET::twothumbs

 

I run the clutch. I have had it over a year.

It slipped one time. I was hot lapping the car and lauching @5k on the two-step with 26" tall DR's and i'd guesse around 340whp. It turns out it will slip after 4 hotlaps under those conditions.

Since then I've had no problems.

 

you don't have to change the master cylinder if its still good. If you have the cash I would suggest you do while you have the car apart. But if you don't and it's still good(doesn't make horrible sounds) Then I wouldn't worry about it.

 

good info
