Default LUK GOLD, AUSSIE, or RPS

I already search, but these clutches are fairly new and didnt find much.


Well I need a new clutch. Im @ about 370 RWHP and have AFR on the shelf waiting to bolt on. The stock clutch started to slip some without the heads. This is want I want out of a clutch

No Chatter

Holds 420 RWHP for a long time (years )

and last NOT a killer pedal that cant be used in daily traffic

I think the LUK, AUSSIE or RPS are in my scope.

Dont respond if you have SPECs, or FIDENZA

remember it's a daily driver

I'm in the same boat as you and will be buying a new clutch this fall. I have been leaning toward a Ram, but might have to bite the bullet and get the Textraila. I hate having to spend that kind of money but only want to do this once and get it right the first time. Another clutch to look at is ClutchMasters. It's a high dollar clutch but has gotten very, very good reviews for streetabilty and power holding capability. Just something else to mix into the confusion.

I have the RPS clutch and it is great for daily traffic. The pedal force is low and no chatter. Almost feels like driving a stock clutch.

i just got a Textralia clutch (assuming what you mean by "aussie")and it feels great till this point...stock pedal feel with no chatter at all...Textralia claims will hold 700hp and there some people running it with 1000+. im at 550+rwhp so im hopin it holds up...goodluck.

Default Get LuKey

I've heard some good things about the LuK clutch on the z06vette.com forums. Lots of folks running it with 500+rwhp. Opinions? I'm looking at getting one of these bad boys because my stock clutch is getting ragged.

If you can wait a little bit, we should have our first review of the ls7 clutch shortly.

...Holds 420 RWHP for a long time (years )...

I won't put in my .02 cents about Spec, but how many miles are you putting on this car a year? How hard do you drive the car? More city or highway driving? Gear ratio? Those are some of the factors that will determine how long a clutch will last.
