Clutches...
 
What's up guys I'm looking to get rid of my CM stage 3 clutch. Makes too much noise and I hate it.

Was thinking of ky stage 3.. I want a clutch with a spring loaded center section. Anyone with ky how do you like it?

Also does GM make any upgrades for the LNF? Like a GMPP clutch for the LNF ?

Thanks guys!

got Spec stage 3+ few more miles to break in but my motor is apart right now, drove a car with one installed and loved it.

I like mine. It does take a little to get use to because it grabs right away when ya pull out.

This spec stage 3+ (stock flywheel) or GMPP clutch is the best for a DD car. Lightweight spec flywheel makes the car very easy to stall when starting off.

i have the LW Spec it seems fine to me, guess im use to it.

Use the gmpp lsj clutch. My Ky s3 makes a squeak on engagement.

Hmm spec stage 3+.. 09bluebaltss how's the lsj clutch hold up with the LNF power? That's what I wanted to do is a GMPP upgrade.. But wasn't sure how it would hold up.

Quite a few turbo LSJs/TVS LSJs running around with the GMPP clutch. Honestly, never heard one bad thing about that clutch.

As long as you install either a new flywheel or a properly resurfaced flywheel it holds fine. If you are stock Turbo I would incorporate a boost ramp just to ensure you aren't hitting the clutch with 400 ftlbs at 3300rpm. Other than that the gmpp seems to be the way to go. Local is making around 450whp on his gmpp in a lsj

And where can I order this GMPP clutch for the LSJ? Anyone have a link?

I have Spec s3+ with the lightweight flywheel and I like it. I had the KY Stage 3 and it had a TON of chatter. My Spec only does when it's cold or haven't driven the car for a while

Best place is crateenginedepot.com. get a clutch pipe while ur there

seeyaass 05-21-2013 10:55 AM

I tried lookin for it on crate engine. Couldn't seem to find the right one! Lol would you be able to get a link for me?

KY Stage 3 with a stock GM flywheel...

Running. Gmpp on my LNF and a BNR2871. I think the only way to make that bad boy slip is to get a huge amount of torque low in the rpm range. Perfect clutch for upgraded turbo.

And how do you like it? Makes any noise or anything? Or sounds/feels like stock?

09BlueBaltSS 05-22-2013 06:26 PM

People say its a touch heavier with a better bite. Very streetable. When I get tired of my KY s3 ill be getting one

kdub1492 05-22-2013 10:03 PM

I've heard good things about the GMPP but IDK I just don't get it. If you are someone who's going to get on it hard with alot of TQ it is going to go. Idc what people say, it WILL fail. With a clutch job being such a pain in the ass, i'd rather throw something on my car that I know can handle whatever I will throw at it. More of being a one time and done sort of thing...

Dart_SI 05-23-2013 10:52 AM

I did it because a certain member with an e85 s256 lsj had one on his car and it even holds his power. He should be close to 500whp.

The GMpp is awesome. Exactly like stock. No noise

In most cases driving habits kill clutches before power does

This X1000!!!!!!!!!!

kdub1492 05-23-2013 03:29 PM

Oh I don't disagree with that at all, just don't get people replacing a stock clutch with pretty much another stock. To each their own tho! I prolly would have done the same, I just have terrible luck, and another clutch job wasn't what I wanted too do haha
