ZL1/SS clutch swap

GreaseMonkey83 · 03-28-2018, 05:03 PM

I've been thinking about swapping the clutch in my SS with one out of ZL1. Just thought i'd share some info. The ZL1 pressure plate and friction disc are a direct swap. GM part #24268307. The cool part is, they're $320 on GMpartsdirect.com right now. That's $13 cheaper than the SS clutch.

Why are you doing this. Have you had clutch problems.

I wonder why GM didn’t just conmonize to the ZL1 clutch then. Maybe more rotational weight and higher pedal force? Seems like a good option when the time comes. Thanks for this info!

No issues yet. It has quite a few passes at the drag strip on it though so just exploring my options for when that time inevitably comes.

I'd look at the ZR1 clutch. I know the Z06 and Camaro SS clutches are identical in appearance. When I put an LT4 in my SS, I used a Z06 clutch because the ZL1 wasn't out at the time.

The ZR1 clutch is supposed to have 10% more holding force than the Z06, and I'm betting the ZR1 clutch will fit in our Camaros just like the Z06 clutch does.

Got ya. Yeah seems like a great upgrade option for when the time comes.
