Clutch question...

Hi guys,

I have a question regarding clutch for the SS TC, in fact its for my friend and he wanted to know what do you guys would recommend, i have no idea wich one is best, i tried to search and i found some like the spec and zzp...

My friend tend to go with the cheaper he can find but i try to tell him it might not be the best way.... id like to know wich model youd recommend and what part are needed, i remember something about a clutch rod, but im lost with all that... is it needed to have the clutch rod for any type of aftermarket clutch on our car?

He currently have trifecta 24 psi, but will have K&N sri and catless downpipe.
His driving is pretty intense, looking like he is getting away from something all the time...lol like he stole this car... so he need something that will handle more than that i assume...


Thx for any help!

A twin-plate will chatter less, be more daily driveable, and do a better job protecting your transmission from shock load than a heavily sprung equivalent torque rating single plate.

this is all I have to say.

The clutch rod is to make aftermarket clutches engage higher in the pedal travel range, to match the OEM-feel. Most aftermarket clutches engage close to the floor, for the Cobalt, for whatever reason.

Ok, thank you for the info, he found a spec 3 clutch, cheaper than what ZZP offer with the stage 4, what would be more suited for my friend?

Modern Performance has good prices on Clutchmaster. Not sure I'd get the stage 4 though if this is a daily driver. The 6 puck stage 4 is rather "grabby".

6 puck is exactly what I was recommending against.
