Safe clutch and flywheel for gm stg2
I need to know of a good clutch to buy to safely drive the way i wanna drive and have room for maybe intense stage 3 upgrade...
I had my cobalt stage one for 4 months, then finally got my stage 2 installed from GM themselves. i was worried about the torque capablities in the clutch (210lbs) and the output of the gmstg2 (225lbs). I question'd the dealership, they told me not too worry. A month later... my cluch and flywheel BOTH burn out.... what a coindence. of course of me being a young 21yr old, they blamed it on me, WTF EVER
Any how, from experience, whats the best clutch and flywheel to use for the gmstg2, and possible intense stage 3 kit. buying a short throw in the near future...
please help! no cobalt friendly stores here in SA town
thx!!!

60's require a new PCM tune and isn't really needed unless you are running a 2.8 or smaller pulley.
The Exedy is an exeptional clutch from what I have read on here and the RL forums. Expensive, but extremely nice.

Alright.. i figured it out. I spoke with the manager of ancira when my mom smelt the burning coming from the clutch... He stated that they have replaced many FLYWHEELS with the 2006 ss cobalts because GM (who supposed to be a great racing team) put in a shitty light flywheel.. SO HA! it wasnt my driving... those bastards!
