I have a clutch question
Has anyone had any experience with LUK brand clutch and components? I understand or I think I was told they are the OEM supplier for GM. The hydraulics in my clutch system in the 03 are going away (leaking down). After the holidays I am going to change all of the components. I would appreciate your opinions on LUK as they have a heavy duty clutch package that I am looking at and considering. FYI the car has a head and cam package and it is approx 500HP at the crank and 435 wheel HP.

Upgrade the flywheel/clutch and components to the LS7 which is a better and more robust to handle more horsepower. The components are a direct swap and the prices are basically the same as OEM.

Only thing I can contribute was the experience with LUK in my V8 6 speed BMW. 300whp and I beat it like a step child for 40k with no issues. Obviously a big difference with your powertrain but hope it helps.

That does help I read some other online reviews on LUK and several were BMW related with all good reports. They manufacture or they are one in the same with Schaeffler performance clutches. I may give them a try and report back my experience.
