Pressure plate Sup tech,
could not find my answer in search function
Will an LS6 clutch and slave fit on a STOCK ls1 clutch assembly?
I'm about to replace the RMS, and am upgrading to the ls6
Any input is appreciated.

I'm not sure what you're actually asking here...
Are you asking if a LS6 pressure plate will work on a factory LS1 flywheel? Are you asking if a "LS6 slave" will work on a factory clutch assembly (or even the one you're referencing)?
Give me some information on your questions and setup and I'll help out if possible.

- What car are we working with?
- What power does it make?
- How are you driving it?
- How are you actually using it?
- What are your habits?
- Mod list

I'm asking if an ls6 clutch will fit on an ls1 pp , ls1 and ls6 are interchangeable I'm assuming?

the ls6 clutch just doesnt hold all that much power, you can usually get a much better clutch to hold more power for around the same price that will drive the same. the main problem with the ls6 though is the pressure plate which uses diaphragm springs to "adjust" itself throughout its life to keep the pedal the same.
problem with this is that as the clutch ages the springs can make it hard to shift at high rpm causing block outs which people consistently blame on hydraulics...not to say the stock hydraulics are ok, because theyre not. however the bad clutch design doesnt help the issue.... if you dont mind telling what are you paying for everything local

Is that why people upgrade to an aftermarket mc? Should I just stick to the ls1 clutch then? I believe my car has the stock clutch and it's sitting at 96k, and I have no problems whatsoever, I do some WOT pulls and the gear changes are normal. The seller wants 150 I believe, I can maybe negotiate. I'm assuming it's a good deal
If it were me I'd run a Monster, I like doing things right the first time and not having to go back at a later date when I decide to do something else to the car. I am a bit biased though...

Would the monster setup work with stock hydraulics? I'm kind of on a budget and the thing that really sets me back is the aftermarket mc's, they're really expensive. Any other setup alternatives you guys can recommend?

monsters will work fine with stock hydraulics as should most any aftermarket clutch.... I had the stock ls6 in mine it looks just like the stock ls1 with a slightly different PP. Same crappy design though. My ls6 did ok for light DD duties but I killed it fairly quick. After driving an aftermarket clutch you will never go back...
Then after that drive one with a tick m/c and you'll find yourself spending 3xx for one of those lol
