I was thinking about going with a '02 Z06 clutch, but i'm curious as to what are the differences between the '97 and '02 Z06 clutch setups(ie. flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, master cylinder, slave cylinder, etc, etc)??

 

1997 = 2155 lb pressure plate...... 2002 ZO6 ls6 = 2475 lb pressure plate.....the hub spring in the 2002 ZO6 LS6 disk was strengthened also....for a bolt on car or a heads/cam never on slicks car the 2002 is fine....IMHO the Cartek 3200 lb pressure plate is good for anything else...I have it and like it.

I have a GM Parts CD for the '97-01 C5 (includes the Z06), but what i don't have is any info on the '02 Z06. I'm trying to find out what all changed for the '02 Z06 and determine if the cost to upgrade everything would be cheaper then going the Cartek route. Believe me Cartek is my first choice but $800 (not including install) is a little steep for me right now. I just had a MTI H/C (plus other bolt-on mods) done this past Oct, plus i need to get a set of rims & ET Streets since the track opens up in mid-Feb. Who knows, maybe one day i'll win the lottery and won't have to worry about stuff like this. <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" />

You'll get a 2475 pp and a better sping on the disk hub....don't know about the hydraulics....this would be a good cheap setup if you don't use ET Streets....ET Streets will wind up making the clutch slip....street tires will be fine....Id' get a 2002 slave and the 2002 zo6 clutch which comes with a pp,disk and flywheel all for around $400...good budget setup if you don't use the ET's.

 

The retaining spring "hub" was strengthened qute a bit, and is worth the upgrade. In my kind of racing, we don't apply a great deal of low-gear torque, but I broke the "hub" in an 01' clutch in just a few races. It could not stand the heat of our usage. I sent it back to Luk for analysis inexchange for an 02' unit. I ran the 02' for 3 races before swapping it for a Quartermaster racing setup. I sent the 02' clutch back, still in working condition, to Luk for additional analysis.

btw, going to the Quartermaster lowered my flywhee/clutch weight from 59lb to 19lb, and that combined with the ATI aluminum underdrive pully really lets the engine spool up!

Just an FYI, the '02 ZO6 clutch is not being sold to anyone. It's on a national backorder and is only being put in at the assembly plant and for warranty work. <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0"> I'll post the link when I can get the Corvette Forum to work.
