Default Clutch upgrade

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the naive question. I have a 06 c6 mn6 with Corsa Sports and a VaraRam w/Tb. I want to upgrade the clutch. What more should I do if the clutch is a Stage 5 clutch? Is it a O.K. just to replace the clutch? Thank you in advance.

No offense intended but I'm curious why you would want to upgrade your clutch? Are you having problems with your stock clutch...what do you hope to gain?

The stock clutch gets stuck if I try to launch at more than 3500rpm. No offense taken. Just want a better product.

Make a quicker clutch release; refrain from intentionally slipping the clutch.

Hold the launch rpm and then do a very fast release, followed by a calibrated throttle squeeze, rather than a stab-to-the-floor.

Also want to check your clutch fluid....Taking Care of Your Clutch
