Default LS7 Clutches Available!

Hi All,

The LS7 clutch is available. It has been confirmed to fit in any LS1/LS6/LS2 Corvette combo. This comes without the flywheel which is an added bonus for those of you who purchase a different type flywheel or for those of you who don't need one. It is 317.99 shipped!

Clutch and shocks cheaper than comp. 2004 parts? What's up here. I might have to get both and store them in the garage for a rainy day .

Are you sure about this?!? We need 100% confirmation because now I have conflicting info here. I just instructed a customer of mine to purchase one of these LS7 clutches to be mated up with the LS1 Fidenza aluminum flywheel he has. Miguel, if you are reading, hold off on the LS7 clutch purchase until we can verify this data....

If it is without a flywheel, what is the consensus on balancing?

LS7 clutch definately does NOT work with an LS1/6 flywheel.

Gene, what happened to the $286 pricing I was given when I phoned about a week ago? ***edit*** sorry Gene, just read your post again and I now see the difference in price is the shipping.
