Good morning, My clutch has started to slip in my 2015 2SS 1LE, No idea why. Has not had a rough life. No track time and no Hole Shots. My question is can i upgrade it to a flywheel and clutcg fron a ZL1 with a monster billit bearing support and remote bleeder? Will it all work together? Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks Mike

LSA flywheel has a different bolt pattern than the LS3.

I think the "stock" upgrade is to get a ZR1 clutch. JDP made/makes a kit with the right adapters. Personally I plan on doing a Monster when my time comes.

How many miles on your car? I currently have 97k on the stock clutch in my 2015 1LE.

10,000 miles, thats why i am so baffled why it is failing.

There's no way it should be failing at 10k miles.

What are the symptoms?
Are you sure it's not the plastic bushing in the Slave Cylinder that's causing the problem?

Either way you have to drop the transmission to fix it. And when mine failed I replaced the clutch mostly because it was so much work to R&R the transmission that I figured I'd replace it while I had everything apart.

I have not taken it appart yet. It will slip when you have your foot in it in 3rd and 4th, If i stand on the gas at slow speed in 3rd gear it will just rev and not really accelerate. Thanks for the reply Mike
