Default Ls7 clutch on ebay, good deal?

I have done lots of searching about a new LS7 clutch to fix the chatter when you put the clutch in and all around better drive-ability. I also read that Luk makes the clutches for GM so basically they are oem without the gm stamp?


http://www.ebay.com/itm/LUK-CLUTCH-KIT-SLAVE-RACING-FLYWHEEL-CORVETTE-C6-6-0L-LS2-6-2L-LS3-Z06-7-0L-LS7-/400457450409?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d3d1fc3a9&vxp=mtr
Is this a good deal? What else would I need? ( I looked for the bleeder but couldn't find it) Any other thoughts input advice? Got them down to 535 shipped with the best offer, tried to 500-525 but they said that is the lowest they could take

thanks for taking the time to post and not help with anything. As I stated I have already searched and came up with the 10 pages of results or 243 threads for Ls7 clutch so I am not sure which thread you are referring. I have read countless threads on both here and the Cadillac forums about people using different things or needed different parts. (and messing stuff up)

It is a little different when you are actually biting the bullet your self and want to get the newest accurate information. Maybe I wanted to ask if people new where I could get stuff cheaper or where to get the arp bolts etc etc the list goes on.

As I stated earlier thanks again

Searched all posts by 54in and the last one was dated 1/8/13

Here is the only one I saw about the ls7 clutch, dated 1/13/13

If you go LS7, I outlined in someone elses thread about the dual mass, WHERE to get all of the parts the cheapest.

Scoggin Dickey was cheaper than ebay by ALOT when I bought mine this past summer.(clutch and flywheel, and all bolts)
Oreiley's Auto online for the LS& slave.
Tick for the speed bleeder and extended line.

Oh and to answer your question. When mine started slipping, it was about 6 months before I replaced it.


Scoggin Dicky is 579 with no slave but has the bolts

All you need is flywheel, disc & pressure plate, remote bleeder, flywheel bolts, pressure plate bolts and C6 slave. The C6 slave is about $100. Lindsay Cadillac sells the entire kit for about $700 so your price of $500 will save you some money. Replace the pilot bearing while you're in there.

go to gmpartsdirect.com and look up a 2011 Z06 Vette. You can get the pressure plate with disc for $207, the flywheel for $202, pilot for $10, and a slave for $150. Almost the same price, and you know its the real deal. With ebay, you just never know. You can get the bolts online or at any dealership.

OP, no worries, I meant to post the link, just got distracted by the Draft.

With that said, when I searched, I actually took the time to read all of the threads that you found.

Gentlemen, when I did all MY searching last year, Scoggin-Dickey was still the cheapest as it was a kit.

The only thing it did not come with was the remote bleeder, slave and pilot bearing.

Now that may have changed, but that is what I found.
