Clutch's

[higgster5.7]

I've got the usual complaint of concrete clutch peddle under load, just a few questions. Will an uprated clutch cure this indefinately, second what clutch to go for, ls7 or are there any others on the market. Cheers

I'm looking into this as i feel that my clutch will want changing sometime next year. I've emailed Monster clutches in America to get an idea on cost, if i was to ship one over, they seem to be decent price and have good reviews.

Textralia in Aus, best by far.

LS7 will be fine at your power level.

but isn't the 'clutch slow to return and feels like concrete after some aggressive driving' problem down to the master cylinder allowing the fluid to get contaminated so it then boils when given some stick?

If so, then changing the clutch for a beefier one won't make the blindest bit of difference - will it?

Does anyone 'actually' know what this issue is caused by?

No one has actually confirmed this yet, can you get uprated master cylinders or improved/modified ones which are up to the job, if I'm going in to the gearbox I may aswell get it right 1st time

I don't think anyone does. Most common theory is heat soak into the slave cylinder and fluid deterioration.

I've not had the severe symptoms myself but do notice the pedal gets heavier after long periods of driving and no it is not my leg getting tired! I get a creak from the pedal when it is in this heavy mode.

Some more scientific diagnostics are required such as a load sensor to measure the pedal effort and a line pressure gauge. Determining what is happening on the rotating assembly itself is a bit more tricky. At least master cylinder effects could be ruled out.

I am pondering installing something as I came across a pedal force load cell by a company called Futek.

You dont need all that. Just fit an LS7 clutch - problem solved!

How does just changing the clutch solve it though as said above the master cylinder must play a big part in all our problems

Ive got my theories, but i not about to put them on the internet! What i can say, is that it WILL solve your problem. We have done so many with this fault, you can be sure it will fix it. The master cylinder is not your issue.

[Brummmie]

Ls7 clutch here, also a regular bleed with good quality fluid, i use Carbone Lorraine 325C stuff, no problems and it gets a good beating!

[higgster5.7]

Best get my arse in gear and get it sorted then, cheers for the input guys

[anonymous-user]

Can't afford it - so I'll just have to get used to it I guess.....

Roll on next year when I can sell it... (and get a VXR8)

wish I'd kept the link, came across someone in the UK recently doing LS7 clutches supplied for around 350 quid with the flywheel which you'll need for a LS1, not sure if you need the flywheel for the LS2
