Why is the ZO6 clutch so good?

 

its not that great. i have one on my camaro, but i need an upgrade badly, the z06 clutch does not like nitrous

 

post up in the Manual Transmission section and you might get more responses

 

I have this clutch, and all i can say is that it has the stock pressure, and for of now, i have pacesetter LTs, true duals, lid, and that. Holds up nice and the pressure does not change. And the price is nice also with a flywheel!

 

Says who? I blew through mine in about 9-10K miles. Bolt on car at the time.

 

It may be a more reliable clutch as it is required to pass all of the vehicle development testing at GM. So the life of the clutch is scrutinized and the performance of it is also probably pretty consistent from clutch to clutch. GM does have requirements for friction (tolerance range) and I would doubt aftermarket parts have similar tight requirements.

I do have this clutch on my car and so far it has held up well. But I recently ran in to some hydraulic problems so I am not sure if the clutch is still OK or will need replacement once I iron out if the master cylinder or slave cylinder went bad.

 

I think it's a great clutch. I upgraded from my SPEC III and am more than happy so far!

 

I think it's a pos. Mine was slipping at like 7-8k. Threw in the Mcleod kevlar and started leaving rubber on the road in 3rd and 4th.

 

I agree with InMy01TA, I think the z06 clutch is junk...01-02 cars already have a z06 clutch as it is. Ive got a header car and my clutch was slipping before i even put them on...Now when I launch my car the clutch will stick to the floor...Time for a SPEC clutch

 

its not a bad clutch, its just not something you want if you will be modding the car. my clutch held my bolt-ons car pretty good. it is starting to slip pretty bad now, but that is due to the nitrous, i wasn't expecting it to hold the 100 shot.

 

Its OK to the level of basic free mods and small bolt-ons but after a few serious mods and nittos its gone real quick.I had mine put in under warranty at 25K and at 45K I started heavy into headers/cam/gears and nittos and it was done in no time.I'm agonizing on which one to buy now.

 

what dealer put in new clutches under warranty?
Thanks

Mine did after the pedal stuck to the floor at odd times.They tried the slave and master first then put in a new Z06 kit.Fun will it was stock w/lid,catback

 

where are they located at? My dealer wont fix my problem right. I only have 30k on my car and its under the GMPP.
