New C6 clutch installed
We installed our proto type clutch in the C6 this week. The factory clutch started to slip after 11.50. So far it feels great. No different drivability than the factory clutch. We have about 20 hard launches on the drag strip and no more smelly clutch. Now it is time to step it up.

Yes it is possible to use a C5 clutch but there may be problems with high RPM shift releasing because all the hydraulics has changed too.
We are at the beginning phase of testing. We already have 2 more changes to make. One is going to be a lighter assembly. Our main concern will be chatter. The lighter the assembly the more it is prone to chatter and factory clutch has some chatter already when it is new.

Can you elaborate? More fluid pumping through?
