LS7 clutch swap parts and numbers
 

I need a new clutch and I was going to go with the spec stage 3 clutch, but a lot of people are talking about the LS7 clutch. So I want to look into prices, see if it's cheapier going with that then the spec. I can get parts at cost thru my bro's shop, but I need all the parts to do the swap, also what are some of the other parts you guys are installing while you are at the swap. I need part numbers please! I know you need the clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate, what about the pilot bearing and throw out bearing, anything else? Please someone put up part numbers for everything that is needed, and then what else is just extra insurance, thanks!

Search here and the LS7 section

Mine will be here monday :) from fred beans. just call them and they can get it for you cheeper then anyone. 610-495-1700 Ask for Jermey tell him Daniel from hawaii just sent you.

Well I get it probably just as cheap as you guys do, since my brother works at a shop, he gets everything for cost, plus I don't have to pay shipping, so it should be cheapier. I am in a budget with xmas coming and every dollar I save will help. I just wanna see if I can get it cheapier. What exactly is in your kit?

BTW, I've searched, and there is no deffinite answer, people just "think" what all is involved in the swap.

Thats not true, there are several people sucessfully running the ls7 clutch in ls1 cars with the ls2 flywheel.

has anyone Launched a car with this clutch. and by launched I MEAN it 6000++ RPMS and dumping it on slicks?????????

Ummm what? I never said that the clutch wasn't good, or anything about the flywheel? I know I need the LS2 flywheel, the LS7 clutch, pressure plate(LS2 or LS7?) what else, pilot bearing and throwout bearing? I need to know what everyone is getting to do the swap and what the part numbers are, that's all, I have no idea what your talking about.

I was responding to this bit:
Just wanted to clarify that it has been done and the ls2 flywheel was the needed part to get it to work.

Ok, I figured that I needed the LS2 fly wheel, no thats confirmed, thank you. What about the pressure plate, LS2 or LS7? Also do I need the pilot and throwout bearings? And does anyone know the part numbers to these?

you get the ls7 clutch / presure plate combo, then you get the c6 ls2 flywheel (not the GTO flywheel) The pilot bearing is real cheap, and i believe the throwout bearing comes with a new slave. I dont have the part numbers on me. A quick search should turn up results though.

if you do a search you fill find part # easy :)

ok, well I looked into getting the parts myself and it came out to be a little more expensive then I thought. So where are you guys ordering your kits from? What comes with the kit? GMpartsdirect wanted 105$ for shipping, the total was around 550 for the clutch/pp, flywheel, and PB. I am assuming that doesn't come with the install tool or anything. 2002ssmalibu, is there a website where I can go to where you got your clutch, or do I have to call that number? Also, what came in your kit? ANd if you don't mind me asking, how much did it all cost? I thought I remember seeing you got the upgraded hydraulics, but I already have the 01 slave and master. I just need the clutch,pp, flywheel, PB and install tool. Thanks.

Try calling these guys. They are pretty competitive and a sponsor.

i think it is just easyer to call and ask them the prices. They were cheeper then (SDPC) hell gm parts direct was cheeper then them :) i was going to get it from gmpartsdirect but i wanted to talk to someone:)

2002ssmalibu, who had the cheapiest? Your post kinda confused me, I got qouted around 540 for the clutch,pp,flywheel and PB, shipped prices. Seems like SPDC was most expensive? Where does fred beans come in? Thanks for the replies and patience guys.

$850 for the LS7 Clutch Assembly ($370), Fidanza lgtwt Flywheel ($340), Pilot Bearing( $11), updated Slave/TO Bearing( $128).

Fidanza is 14 lbs lighter than the LS2 flywheel.

I have a brand new LS2 FW (vette) I'll sell you for my cost ($178). I decided to go with the Fidanza.
