Default Suitable clutch

Hi everyone, looking for a good clutch for my transam. Ls6 with tr6060 out of a 2013 camaro. Boosted. Looking at the McLeod rst clutch. Will it bolt onto my stock flywheel (2013 camaro flywheel)? Also looking for a hydraulic throwout bearing, will a stock replacement be alright or are there any other suggestions? Thanks

details-
Ls6
tr6060
3:73 gears
3600lb
around the 650+ hp range

I'm very happy with my RPS full carbon street twin. It is pricey but this is the best clutch I've ever had in the car.

Anyone know if this will bolt onto a stock 2013 camaro flywheel? I really like the McLeod stuff

Pretty sure that plate shown at the rear is an adapter that allows you to use the stock flywheel.

If your going to be making 650+ then I would just jump to the RXT and not even bother with the RST.

RST is an awesome clutch, but if you plan to track it at all go RXT. The RST I had drove like stock.

it's a daily so I think I'll go with the rst.

Is a stock replacement throwout bearing up for the job or is there a nice bolt on replacement?
thanks

Mantic 9000, RPS, or RXT are the ones I'd consider. Personally I've had a Mantic 9000 twin and loved it and now have the triple and love it even more.

I think I'm going to go with the rts clutch, I daily drive it but It will definitely see hard pulls daily, but I think it will be good enough for now. I can go bigger when I swap in the 408 and go with bigger turbos

I'm running -4 AN LINE from my wilwood clutch master cylinder to my slave. For a stock throwout bearing, is this the correct adapter to be used to adapt to the quick release of the slave cylinder?





also, where's a good place to get a remote bleeder

Summit guy said the clutch above will not bolt onto my stock flywheel. Just want to get someone else's opinion on that. If it won't, this one; 6405507, has a flywheel. What do you guys think? I trust you guys more than tech support. Any help is much appreciate. Thanks

I originally had the rst behind my roughly 650 horse twin turbo 5.3 and it was great. Pedal feel was like stock and it had zero chatter. Plus it didn't make any noise while disengaged, unlike the twin disk in my cummins. As soon as I put wide sticky tires on it and hit the track a few times it started slipping. Had it rebuilt to the rxt and while it's more aggressive I would have no issues daily driving it and if I could go back I would have bought it the first time. On the flywheel thing i have no clue but I thought you might want to hear from someone that's had both.

theres not a huge price difference, I'll consider the rxt, but I'd love some more feedback on flywheel. Thanks

It won't work with my stock flywheel, it's not the flat ls1 style one. I'll need a steel flywheel, as the aluminum one is too light

I'm running a Monster LT1-R. It feels very close to stock and will hold 1200+ to the tires. I really like the clutch and the customer service I have gotten from Steve, great company to do business with.

That's a nice clutch, but I think I'm hooked on McLeod lol. So my final decision is to go with this rst (6912-07) and this flywheel (460530). If they match up to my ls6 and tr6060, I'm ordering asap. Thank you

You should give the guys at McLeod a call, they're always helpful and very knowledgeable.
