Default c6 clutch questions

c6 owners, z51 suspension(not sure if it matters) how is the clutch?

Will the ls6 clutch bolt up with no issues? Which flywheel is needed, ls1 or ls2?

Thanks,

I would use the LS2 flywheel. You should already have one.
And yes, it will bolt right up.

I don't actually own a c6, I'm just trying to gather some information on what will work and what won't on the c6.

I thought the ls1 and ls6 used the saller flywheel and the ls2 and ls7 used a larger flywheel

That is basically correct. The LS1/LS6 have a smaller contact area on the flywheel as compared to the LS2/LS7 flywheel. They have more torque holding capacity due to the increased surface area.

The LS2/LS7 clutches are not compatible with the LS1/LS6 flywheels.
