V6 Clutch replacement

I'm having trouble finding the part on the GM catalog. I've read other threads where people completely replaced the flywheel/pressure plate/master & slave cylinder because of the issue where the pedal sticks to the floor. I sometimes have that issue but I'm not looking to do all the upgrades right now. Does anybody know where to order just the OE clutch or a replacement? Most online vendors have their own clutch that requires you to also buy their flywheel, which ends up being double the price rather than just the clutch. Mods feel free to move to /Transmissions, just thought I'd have better luck here.

Or Ram model # 75-2105(N). Not on their website yet, but available.

But I think either do require a flywheel replacement.

You get what you pay for...

Thanks for the replies. Probably going with the Spec clutch for the quick fix now. Will look into the Ram when I have time to upgrade.

Actually a lot of the sticky clutch problem is cause by dirty clutch fluid.

Yes this is true. When it first started sticking (around 10k) I changed it and it worked well. I've probably changed it 5 more times since then (every time I change the oil). Recently, within a week of changing it, the pedal is slow on the return under hard accel. So I don't think the fluid is the culprit anymore. I'm pretty sure I'll just have to upgrade the slave cyl to really fix the problem. And if that doesn't work, then I'd just have to upgrade all the clutch components. If you guys have any other suggestions let me know. Thanks!

Should be a warranty item. Slow return is not a clutch plate issue.

FYI, the stock flywheel is a dual mass flywheel. When changing a clutch the flywheel must, not maybe, must be machine a resurfaced before you install a new clutch. With it being a dual mass wheel most machine shops wont touch them. Mainly because of how they are made, if you machine it wrong and it becomes out of balance then you have a new issue. I'd recommend replace the flywheel as well, as their V6 aluminum flywheel is very nice and has a replicable steel contact surface.
