I bought a competition clutches stage 4 clutch kit for my car but the part number is for a C5 Z06/LS6. I don't think this is an issue considering both cars have the LS6/T-56 combo but I heard the slave cylinder is slightly different from the z06 to the V. I am told to run a z06 clutch on the V, you either need a spacer/shim to make the stock V slave work and reach where it needs to on the z06 clutch or the z06 slave cylinder all together as it is a little longer.

Anyone else heard of this?

I just don't want to get it back together to find out the clutch won't engage all the way due to this slave cylinder difference.

Did you also buy a flywheel? You will need a new single mass flywheel to go with that disk and pressure plate and then yes you will still need a spacer. The one Katech sells should be the right spacer to install a C5 Z06 clutch.

Yeah, the kit came with a lightweight billet flywheel. How much should that spacer be? Is the spacer a better idea than running the z06 slave?

spacer is 60 bucks

When I put my ls7 clutch in I used the ls7 slave and it works flawlessly.. the c5 clutch should work out the same way.. either use the spacer for the stocker or the long slave from the c5

Ok. If the spacer is just $60, might go that route.

What would a C5 z06 slave run?

Probably about this much:

The V slave/C5 Z06 clutch/flywheel (GMPD 12570806) works just fine with the spacer.

There are at least two different spacers available, TPIS and Katech. The former is around .48" thick and the latter is closer to an inch thick. I have had the TPIS spacer/V-slave/12570806 clutch/flywheel assembly in my car since I did the swap and have had no issues whatsoever, but I don't drag race the car.

If your slave/throwout bearing assembly is in good shape, reusing it should not be a problem. Bench bleed it to clean it out and use a high-temp DOT 3/4 fluid and you'll be good to go.

Also, a bit of trivia..... The stock V clutch can be used with any flywheel with the offset (.4 or so) clutch cover mounts (i.e: the LS7 and I believe, the LS2 GTO flywheels) and the same for the clutch disc (if you don't mind not having the hub cushioning springs).

Y- body LS2, LS7, and LS3 use the same offset flywheel too.

Thanks for all the help and info guys! Don't know what i'd do without this forum! Lol

I'm going to inspect my slave today and see if it's still in good shape. It's working fine at the moment but with 120k on it, I'm tempted to just pay the extra $30-$40 for a brand new on to run with the clutch....

I have the Katech spacer, and my LS2 slave is just starting to fail at 16k miles. Do yourself a favor and do the LS7 slave the first time, unlike me. It'll save you time in the long run.

Yeah... That's what I figured. I think mine is original from 04. What's different though between the C5 Z06 slave and the LS7 slave?

LS7 is much longer and that should be close to what you need but I don't know the stack height of the C5 clutch. The LS7 may or may not work for you.

Oh ok. Hmm... I hope someone who knows can chime in. I'd hate to buy the wrong one!
