Default LS7 clutch disc

Ok guys, I got the LS7 clutch assembly on my car (installed in 08 and love it), but have had a rear cover oil problem so bad that it covered everything inside. There are no heat spots on the clutch PP or flywheel, but the disc is worn away. The engine is out of the car because of toasty roasty cylinder #7. Does anyone know where i can get just the disc(or one that is compatible) for this PP and flywheel? BTW it was still holding strong while contaminated.

GM lists the clutch disc separately or you could get yours re-frictioned or go aftermarket.
Don't forget to get the flywheel and PP resurfaced.

Re frictioned, hmm, never heard of that before. If its cheaper than the 400 to buy it all again, sounds good. Any sponsers do that?

Been searching all day and found nothing but clutch kits. I was wondering if I can put another brand disc on this PP I already have. Like an ls1/2 disc if i can find those first. I can't even find the part number for the GM disc.

Pick up the phone and call a local dealer or one of the dealers that is a sponsor here.

I just looked up the GM schematics and it says the friction plate isn't sold separately.
It's the same setup on Vette LS2's, and all LS3's. However, not on GTO LS2's......

You can buy just the clutch and pressure plate off either
$230 @ GM Parts Giant or
$194 plus surcharge @ GM Parts Direct


I just bought the whole set from a local dealer today who matched GM parts giants prices.
However the best COMBO price is @ GM Parts House for $443.

I found this disc (LD2058) $74.00 but it only covers 5.7 Z06. I just don't want to buy the entire kit again if only the disc is messed up.

No, the disc is around 1/4 inch too large to fit inside the pressure plate and flywheel. The LT1 disc is pretty close to the right diameter, but its on the small side and the springs are weaker.

The LT1 disc is sprung backwards.

I have an unused LS7 disc that I could not use with my conversion. PM me if anyone wants to buy it.

the lt1 and ls1 both spin clockwise, does it being reverse sprung make a difference?
