Need new clutch. HELP!!

**khickenwang** · 05-05-2010, 03:50 PM

So I just bought this 99 ss and the spec stage 3 clutch is going out. Any ideas on a new or used 1? I had a stge 2 centerforce in my last one and that was a good setup. What about ls6? My friend told me to go this route.. PLease include make and price. thanks

This is what I run - prolly overkill for you though. Me too, but I like not having to worry. KY Speed has some good clutches at good prices. I used to run a Ram clutch and I liked it too. Don't remember $ off hand.

Are you 100% positive the "clutch" is going out and couldn't be the hydraulic fluid or slave/master cylinder? What are the symptoms?

well when I shift I have to almost raise clutch to the maximum height and it allmost stalls on me. When I get on the freeway, i have trouble pulling away when I hit the gas in 4th 5th and 6th. And when I go up hills it stutters like it cant go up the hills???

I wouldn't reccommend CenterForce to anyone. Sorry, but they don't last long usually in a F-Body. And when they go, they take out the slave cylinder with them. Mine lasted 6 months, and I didn't realize it messed up the slave. Installed a SPEC 3+ and the slave took out the SPEC in less than a month. Went with a Diamond stage 3 clutch from Texas Drivetrain Performance 3 years and @30,000 miles ago. No issues whatsoever. And I had H/C/I the entire time until 1 year ago, installed a whole new block, bigger cubes :-). Still grabs like new on the street and at the track.

O, and the Diamond stage 3 complete kit is only $799
Includes Basic Kit (Disc/Pressure Plate Pilot Bearing, Alignment Tool)
PLUS Flywheel and Slave Cylinder with Throwout Bearing
