Can you install a ZL1 Clutch on an SS? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Jewbeanie · 11-14-2014, 02:16 AM

I attempted to use the advanced search future but I only found feedback on ZR1 clutches and comparing of SS tranny to ZL1 but not if you could utilize it in this manner? So the question is for anyone that has good knowledge can I install a ZL1 clutch into an SS?

Thanks in advance.

I dont believe so. I think the LSA has a 7 bolt pattern while the LS3 only has 6.

I think so. Not sure though.

This is apparently a worthless upgrade...i think everyone is using Monster clutches...alot of disappoinments with the ZL or ZR 1 clutches

You can not transfer the ZL1 Clutch to a SS. The flywheel is not only way taller then that of the LS3, but it's a 8 bolt pattern. The LT1-XX series that we offer is an adaptation of the C7 Twin disc, which is an improved version of the ZL1 and CTS-V twin disc.

Check out Monster Clutch. Good price for a twin disc, and they're rated for good power. Not to mention they're street friendly. The other twin discs are nice, but more expensive. I'll be making the jump for my 1le this spring to a Monster clutch.

Thanks for the kind words!

Don't forget guys, we just started our holiday sale which saves you even more money!

If I recall correctly, the Z06 clutch and Camaro SS clutch are one in the same. The ZR1 clutch is a decent upgrade, but we'll usually go with the Centerforce DYAD.

Mantic is another great choice also.

Its too bad that the ZL1 does not directly mate up to the SS as stated before because the ZL1 clutch is a nice twin disk that can handle lots of power and drives great!

We have a modified version of this that will. Our LT1-xx lineup uses a C7 clutch assembly to fit these cars, the C7 clutch is an improved upon version of the ZL1 clutch that was used...

Give us a call if you want to pick one up, they are indeed great units!

I didn't know that. I went thru my clutch and local speed shop suggested LS7- so that is what I got. Hasn't slipped yet
