hello i got a cracked clutch when i bought my T-56 transmission out of a 94 camaro, im not sure how long it will last so im just gona get a new one. im just using the stock flywheel. iv looked around but im not sure what would be good to get; i have no use for something that can handle 1200 ft/lbs since im just gona run a stock lt-1 out of a 94 camaro on the other hand i want something that can handle the abuse and wont slip when its brand new. from what i understand the trannys are rated at about 450ft/lbs so i figure if i can get a clutch that is rated at about that kind of power capability since i do plan on modifying the engine soon after i get the car going. my use of it will be just a summer every here and there car that will see the streets just as much as the track. thanks for any help

 

If you're really gonna leave it just plain stock then I would leave leave the clutch as a just plain stock replacement. Unless you just feel the need to spend more money, then upgrade as you feel comfortable.

 

i use a stock pepboys luk clutch and it works great, i launch at 6k on slicks with a 150 shot off the line and it holds and hasnt slipped yet

 

If you have no plans to "go big", then running a stock clutch will do just fine for you.

 

Theres few companies that will sell you JUST the clutch disc. And the ones that do, charge about 80% of the clutch "kit" price, which includes a pressure plate, throwout bearing, and the disc itself.

I had to go through the same thing, so before i dished out nearly $400 to buy a new one, i decided to look for used stuff.

Try a few other camaro sites. Camaroz28.com and Ls1tech.com are good places, as the majority of those guys are running LT1, LS1 engines.

I got a never before used disc and throwout bearing, and a 500 mile pressure plate, for $100.

 

Mcleod has a new "kit" that includes the P/P,Disc,Bearing,Pilot Bearing and Pilot tool. Super Street Pro is good for 500Hp. You can buy from Mcleod Direct.
