how many miles do they last? with abuse?


just normal abuse? not track pass every weekend.


which last longer? monster or LS7?

I can't speak for the Monster, however here's my thoughts on the LS7 clutch:

Great feel, stock driveability just with much greater holding power. I have 30K miles on mine. Steel flywheel. Haven't had the "dead pedal" or trouble shifting at high RPM once with my setup (600 rwhp on spray). Great stock upgrade and it's cost effective.

The only downside is that it's very heavy, so revving around town is a bit sluggish compared to another clutch + aluminum flywheel.

Also, if you plan on adding a Tick MC, do it at the same time you install the clutch. Doing it after the fact would be a complete waste -- for more info on this, check out the search.

This is really a question nobody can answer...What is your definition of "Abuse"? Like all things, you beat and beat on it, it will fail prematurly. If you are good to it, it can last the life of the car.

People have different driving habits too. "Riding" the clutch will wear out the diaphram and bearing...Dumping the clutch will wear the disc out and warp the friction surfaces. If you are racing, you need a racing clutch. If its a street car, you can get away with some abuse and still have it last a while, but no guarantees...

My LS3 Camaro (same clutch as an LS7 ZO6) has 52K miles of me kicking the crap out of it, and it's fine...and that's a 4000 pound car, it weighed 3997 last time I drove onto a scale.

I'm making ~500 rwhp with my heads/cam setup, it's probably made 20 passes at the drag strip, I'm very agressive with it on the street...I flat foot the throttle when I shift it (my PCM is setup for just a spark cut when I do that...so the electronic throttle really does stay wide open) on the street all the time, and it's never given me trouble...I thought the heads/cam would kill it, but they haven't yet.

I have a 06 goat making 470 rwhp I went with a tick kit that came with the master cylinder and level 2 monster clutch and steel flywheel, I've had it in for 5000 miles and have enjoyed, however last week I broke the input shaft in my car, when I took it all apart clutch still looked brand new, and I abuse my car every second I'm in it.

Got a Monster Level 2 in my wifes car. Only makes 411/392 but Ive been known to beat that bitch. Never launched it (glass 10 bolt) but hard shifts, normal driving, doesnt seem to matter much either way. Probably has a good 10k + miles on it.

I've got about 10k on my LS7 clutch and I drive the car daily. I've run it hard a few times and have had no issues at all. Smooth engagement and it holds the power easily.
