It is almost time to replace my clutch. I was wondering what aftermarket clutch you guys would recommend that will last longer than oem? I have gm1 and no other significant mods.
Thanks

 

Any future mods? If thats all you plan on doing then just go like Spec s2, ky stage 3 (although not needed with ur mods), zzp stage 2..any will work

 

Best value will be the ky stage 3.

 

I would listen to TTR guys if I was you. Expecially after releasing that manifold, they get from me all the credit possible.

 

Is this the one?

KY Clutch - Chevrolet Cobalt/HHR 2.0L F35 Trans Stage 3


Is there one that is not the "puck" syle? I would prefer one that was not. No future mods except poss. CAI.
Thank you!!!

 

To hold the power you must have a puck style. It is all about clamping force and PSI on the disc surface to hold.

Even ZZP's and SPEC "+" which are claimed to be "full face disc" is a puck on the stage 3 & 4. It is the steel backer that is a full circle on theirs, but if you look closely there is still pads/pucks on them; which is no different than a puck. Nothing wrong with how they do it, but it all comes down to you have to do it this way to hold power.

 

Ky stage 3 clutch,Throw out bearing, Transmission fluid, Clutch Pipe, Flywheel bolts, Flywheel (either new or get yours resurfaced) Everything you will need.

 

Aaron is a good guy. I've heard 95% good things from the KY clutches. The 5% is just that bad part. Thats always a risk when you buy anything. You'll be happy with the KY. I would also recomend new flywheel bolts and flywheel. Might as well make sure everything is good to go.

 

Thank you guys! Am looking into it as we speak It looks like stage 3 is over kill for me rated at"475 ft lbs torque capacity" where as stage 2 rated at " 365 ft lbs torque capacity" would sound to be a better fit. I have heard of "chattering" with some of the puck clutches. Any truth to these claims?may have a cpl questions later.

 

On the SS/TC get the stage 3, it is not that much more... Issue is the LNF has so much low end torque, you need a stage 3 to hold it. Plus you wont be stressing the stage 3 at all compared to the stage 2.

Most all LNF members get the stage 3

Most all LSJ members get the stage 2

Hope this helps.

 

You did not mention anything about the chattering. I have heard about chatter with this design. Thoughts?

 

Mine does not chatter. I use the stage 3 also. It is all in how you engage/disengage the clutch.

 

I have a Spec stage 3+ doubt you want to spend wut i spent go with ttr they kno their stuff!!! from the reviews you wont be srry.
