First LS9X clutch in a C5 Katech has been hard at work expanding the LS9X and LS9R clutch lines to other models. After starting with the C6 Corvette, we now have applications for 2010+ Camaro, Pontiac G8, Cadillac CTS-V, F-body, and GTO. C5 Corvette has always been a very important application for us, but has proven to be the most difficult. Many changes were required to fit the package in the C5 bellhousing's limited space, but the prototype has been successful. The prototype car drives like a dream, as does all LS9X/LS9R applications.

As the owner of this C5 I can say that it is everything Jason says. It has ABSOLUTELY no neutral noise, no chatter, and smooth engagement, it is even quieter than the stock clutch, it acts like the factory clutch in every other way with a slightly stiffer pedal feel (not much)! If anyone has any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

Still enjoying the quiet holding power of this clutch system....
