CTS-V clutch/flywheel combo question Just to clear things up, I can use an LS1/LS6 Spec clutch on a corvette flywheel with a katech spacer for the slave cylinder, or do i need a GTO flywheel? Are the GTO and the Corvette/LS1 flywheels the same? I have an LS1 Spec stage 3 clutch and am looking for a working setup to get the cts on the road.
Thank you,
Derek

The C5 has the same slave connection type as the f-body so no they will not fit. The C5 slave has a line that slides in and locks with a roll pin and the V's screws in so that is not interchangeable either. You should be able to just reuse the stock slave or you can get a C6 slave and measure. They are longer and you may not need a spacer at all and the C6 has the same connection type as the V. In any situation, you should measure to determine the proper shim size.

It should but you should call Katech and ask them what clutch their spacer was built for. I have never used theirs or the LS6 clutch. I made my own spacer when I installed my LS7 setup then I moved on to the C6 slave myself. Then I moved on to a twin disk. I believe the LS6 would be enough clutch for a stock to very lightly modded car. I wouldn't put a lot of power in front of that clutch considering it came on a car that weighed ao much less.
