Default 2013 Convertible 427

Hi I just got a 2013 427 with 5400 miles all stock, what's the best thing I can do to keep my clutch system in good shape besides ranger method. Im seeing all kind of upgrades remote bleeder, valve upgraded slave cylinder and etc.

I never did any upgrades, and I probably have more miles on a single clutch in a C6 than anybody. It’s a very robust piece- Gimmicks, not necessary

Welcome to the Forum, and congratulations on your low-mile C6!
I would suggest asking your clutch question in the C6 section at https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-2005-2013-14/. This is more of a general "hello" section with folks from all 8 generations probably stopping in.

Enjoy your 427 Convert!! I just picked mine up last July, I absolutely LOVE it !! With the top down, and you goose it over 3,500 rpms, the sound is magic!! Pure American muscle....
BTW - the Ranger method is all you need to do, you will be fine with that lack of mileage .... just drive it!

I think you should sell it to me dirt cheap before you start having the known clutch issues and spend a ton of money fixing it......



HAHAHAHAH


JK, just drive it !
