Default What could I get for my clutch? $$ Wise

Out of curiosity what do you guys think would be a reasonable price to ask for my ls1 flywheel and clutch. I am thinking of going to a ls7 but the thing is this clutch is fine so far, I plan on getting a cam soon though so I wanna have a new clutch in for that. I am the 2nd owner of the car, it now has 90k miles on and im unsure if it was changed before or not. It seems to grab fine flooring it like normal and shifting like normal it will spin 2nd easy and chirp 3rd if im trying really hard though. So im not sure If I should just stick it out and wait or if I should sell my ls1 setup on here and go with a ls7 since Ill be needing that in the future anyways. What do you guys think?

who wants to buy a used clutch?
it is as much work to put in a used one as a new one.
buyer doesn't know how long a used clutch will last, 5 miles or 10,000 miles.
Not worth the hassle.

only 2 things i can see a used stock clutch being desired...

#1- returning to stock...which would involve alot of work just to swap a clutch. although if you had a new $1000 setup i suppose it'd be worth it.

#2- the stock flywheel, which would need to get resurfaced. and i can't see paying to have it shipped, then resurfaced. so it would likely be if someone was local and needed it, maybe if theirs was unuseable due to being resurfaced already.


so as stated...probably worth more as scrape steel than to a buyer.


the flywheel could make for an interesting coffee table or end table though

For the record I dont think it has 90k on, I think this is the 2nd clutch the car is on but just wondered. I guess if i change clutches ill just put it on the side incase of a emergency or something

Any used clutch parts I've ever had from my previous cars I've just given away.

Don't waste your time. Hell I sold my Ram twin disc that was in my car for maybe 3k miles w/ flywheel for $500. It's an $1100 clutch new. So a stock clutch which you could get for $300 new probably, w/ 90k miles... Scrap it.

You aren't going to get anything out of it. Its a used wear item part. You'd be lucky to give it away.
