Default clutch

My slave cylinder went out on my 2000. The car has 67,000 miles. GM still offered the slave cylinder but the clutch and pressure plate has been discontinued. Can anyone recommend who I should buy both clutch and pressure plate from?

Thank you in advance.

Stock car? I would imagine there is a plethora of options if a stock replacement is all that is required.

Are you sure you need a new clutch?
I have over 140K on my clutch and it's still going strong.

I do not know what the clutch looks like. I have not taken it down yet. I just wanted to be prepared just in case.

I put a ls6 stock clutch in my 99 FRC which I got from Summit Racing. Genuine G M with flywheel. Really happy with it

I just went with a LUK 04173 kit. No issues. Get a remote bleeder while you're at it, but depending which bleeder you buy, also get a -3AN 90º swivel adapter. The design of my remote bleeder was such that it forced the end of the hose against the torque tube tunnel, creating a kink in the hose that I wasn't pleased with. Adding the swivel adapter let me route the hose without contacting anything.
