So I'm replacing my 4.8 with a 5.3 in the next week or two... In going to be keeping the standard trans for a while until I decide to go big. I'm thinking my clutch might be reaching the end of its life so why not change it out now for a upgraded one while the motors out. I'm going to be installing some goodies like LTs, ls6 cam and springs, BB tune, small shot of juice and a electric water pump/fan and maybe a few other things...

Anyways I'm having trouble finding a replacement that will hold extra power... I'm of course trying to do all of this on a almost nonexistent budget so the cheaper the better... I was able to find this but not sure if it will work Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch Kit - JCWhitney

 

It says it fits a 2002 Silverado. So whats the issue???

 

No issue really... Just wanted to know for sure that's what I needed or if someone had any other suggestions...

 

Anyone else?

 

And would I be able to reuse my stock flywheel?

 

At the very least you would want to have it surfaced.

 

I have a Spec stage 2+ in my truck. Pedal feels like stock. No problems here.

 

Does anyone have any other similar priced clutch or flywheel?

 

Don't get the center force. The spring is to heavy, I had one on my truck it snapped the master cylinder of the firewall twice. Fwiw I have a stock replacement clutch in my truck now, 70k with no problems. Setup in sig.

 

my old 4,8 5spd went 190k on a stock clutch but wasn't abused so i don't think the stock units are too bad. if you abuse it it might not hold up well though.
