Default Fidanza Clutch

Anyone running a Fidanza clutch? You don't hear much about them, so little I didn't even know they made one for the Corvette. I knew about the flywheel, but they make a complete assembly.

They don't list a clutch for C5s on their website. http://fidanza.com/products.html What they list is:
flywheels (Al and steel)
CV shafts
cam gears
shifters
flex plates

Where did you hear/read that they sold clutches?

Default 2004 catalog

Their catalog on the website was dated 3 years ago. Looks like they need to update their product line just a tad.

Middle of page 10 on link below they list the various clutch setups, or am I reading it wrong?

Fidanza


I guess one reason for asking was they discuss the various disc types in the video on the home page of the web site, which they subsequently list as 2.1, 3.2, etc. Their multi-segment kevlar clutch is interesting.

Not running the clutch, but the flywheel has been truly amazing so I'm sure the clutch would be fine. Funny, I didn't even know they made a clutch kit?? I might have to look Into that myself If & after my current clutch goes. Fidanza makes a great flywheel If It can handle over 15K of of city/Hwy mixed driving + many times at the track. I give them the nod If you get the clutch let us know how It works out.

Their kit is actually pretty complete and includes the clutch disc, the throw out bearing, pressure plate and an alignment tool.
