  • LS7 clutch review

    After driving it over the rain-soaked weekend and the nicer half late Sunday (5/20/2007) I must admit it feels just as smooth as my stock clutch. The clutch engages right off the floor The Flywheel used (LS2/LS7 use same flywheel) is one of the heaviest I've felt and will hold 550 rwhp from what I've researched. I consider it a viable alternative to the spec 3 clutch. Best of all, it is gm parts so I have a 1 year warranty . Considering I need to break it it first before I try some high revving fun, I am very well pleased so far Next winter will be a strange 12-bolt so I'm until after that to get some track #'s

    Here are the parts # for future search references.

    012571611 LS7 Flywheel
    024238412 Pressure Plate (LS2 & LS7 use the lS2 pressure plate)

    While I was at is I replaced the following for good measure (always good)
    015046288 Slave Cylinder
    012557583 Throwout Bearing

    I'm not sure if LT1 owners found a way to install this clutch on theirs due to differences between the tranny's and engines of the 98+ f-bodies vs the 97's and earlier
