  • Possible to use LSx clutch in LTx car?

    Just wondering if it would be possible with some work. I know the input shafts on the transmissions have a different spline but could those be swapped out? I have a feeling I am looking at a clutch swap soon and I do not want to get stuck with another chatterbox spec

    im pretty sure they are both 26 spline input. The input shafts are different length tho and plus an LS1 has a totally different style slave cylinder. It is inside the bellhousing. I dont think it would be possible even with some work

          I definitely need to drive yours. I absolutely REFUSE to get another Stage 3. I don't mind a clutch that has a personality to it, but i can't freaking stand chatter!!

            I LOVE my OEM stock like clutch. Granted I dont make the HP you do, look into perfection clutches. They may offer a nicer one than what I have that would fit your needs.

              Why not a 2 or a 2+? Spec rates the 2 @ 600 ft-lbs and a 2+ @ 660

                Why not use a centerforce? I have had a dual friction on my car for years now and beat the everlovin crap out of it with no problems. No chatter, stock pedal feel, its great. Eric L

                          yep.

                          You either need to ignore the harsheness and chatter of having a cheap single disc clutch or step up and pay for a nice dual disc. You cant have your cake and eat it too

                            LS1s can. Jon has a single disc textralia and it doesnt chatter at all, grabs just as hard as my clutch. Ive heard of similar results from monster clutches. My spec has just a "tad" beyond a little chatter. My entire car is now in worse condition thanks to that spec shaking it to pieces throughout the last 20k miles. No more.

                              I had a Centerforce DF in my car when I had a LT1 T56...it always held fine with no chatter.....but I would never classify it as stock feeling. The LS7 clutch I have now is very stock feeling and always holds with zero chatter.
