SPEC Stage 1 Clutch $269 shipped
Torque Capacity: 599

Features an integrally molded carbon kevlar-based, high performance organic lining that offers smooth engagement and excellent life. This lining has an integrally bonded steel backing for strength under high clamp loads and temperatures. The hub is double sprung with spring cover relieves for flexibility and heat treated components for strength and durability. Best for street and many track/off-road applications.

SPEC Stage 2 Clutch $386 shipped
Torque Capacity: 690

Features segmented or full faced pure Kevlar disc with steel backing. This lining features excellent drivability like the stage 1, but offers slightly longer life and higher torque capacity. The hub is double sprung with spring cover relieves for flexibility and heat treated components for strength and durability. Best for street, drag, pulling and autocross.

SPEC Stage 2+ Clutch $449 shipped
Torque Capacity: 782

Features a multi-friction disc in a full faced configuration with carbon semi-metallic on one side and Kevlar on the other. Bridging the gap between stage 2 and stage 3, the 2+ offers drivability and engagement quality characteristic of the stage 2, but with a 15-20% higher torque capacity. The hub is double sprung with spring cover relieves for flexibility and heat treated components for strength and durability. Great for street, drag, autocross, road racing, pulling, rallye and drift.

SPEC Stage 3 Clutch $404 shipped
Torque Capacity: 832

Features a carbon semi-metallic 6 puck sprung hub disc that has been the leading puck clutch in drivability, life and torque capacity. This unit is designed for street and race cars that require an aggressive but streetable engagement and high torque capacity. The hub is double sprung with spring cover relieves for flexibility and heat treated components for strength and durability. Also available in 3 puck configuration. Great for street, drag, road racing, pulling, rallye and drift.

SPEC Stage 3+ Clutch $538 shipped
Torque Capacity: 967

The flagship stage for a high powered street or race car that requires a manageable and friendly engagement, the stage 3+ features a carbon semi-metallic full faced material that offers unparalleled life, friction co-efficient and drivability characteristics in one single package. The hub is double sprung with spring cover relieves for flexibility and heat treated components for strength and durability. Great for street, drag, drift, autocross, road racing, pulling, rallye and drift.

SPEC Stage 4 Clutch $422 shipped
Torque Capacity: 832

This unit is a solid hub version of the stage 3. The hub is solid 8-rivet and the assembly is heat treated for strength and durability. It is available in a 3, 4 or 6 puck configuration. Use the 3 puck for the lightest option or the 6 puck for the smoothest engagement. The 4 puck is a good compromise for both. Street drivable in 6 puck configuration, but not street friendly due to the rigid hub. Best for drag racing, road racing, pulling, rallye and drift.

SPEC Stage 5 Clutch $485 shipped
Torque Capacity: 1060

Features a full-metallic disc with the highest possible friction co-efficient. Street drivable but not street-friendly. The hub is solid 12-rivet and the assembly is heat treated for strength and durability. Best for extreme street and drag racing.

SPEC Steel Flywheel $233 shipped
* With purchase of SPEC Clutch
SPEC Aluminum Flywheel $359 shipped
* With purchase of SPEC Clutch

SPEC billet flywheels are manufactured and developed for specific driving environments and recommended based on how each car reacts to changes in rotating mass. SPEC flywheels are NOT a one-fits-all lightweight flywheel, though they can be used for an array of driving habits and racing/high performance applications. Please contact us for a recommendation. Manufactured from only the highest quality steel and aluminum, they are the only flywheels on the market manufactured to a .001 machine tolerance, guaranteeing a flat seating surface for the clutch and smooth rotational qualities for perfect balance and extended engine life.

Aluminum Pressure Plate Option $260
5 lb Weight Reduction

Stock appearing aluminum pressure plates allow for quicker revs, more horsepower and increased engine reliability. These pressure plates are a great addition to SPEC lightweight flywheels or factory flywheels, and can be used with a variety of friction discs.

ARP Flywheel Bolt Kit $26.49

Flywheel bolts play an important role in the performance and safety of race cars and street machines alike. That’s why the fastener experts at ARP® have developed special bolts that are far superior to OEM hardware. They are forged from aerospace alloy and heat-treated prior to thread rolling and machining. Featuring an exclusive, flat, 12-point head design and larger than stock shank diameter for increased strength and improved flywheel register.

ARP Pressure Plate Bolt Kit $16.99

Tick Performance Adjustable Clutch Master Cylinder Kit $309.99

Since their creation, the clutch hydraulic system has plagued all C5 Corvettes. Shifting quickly at high RPM is extremely hard (in some cases even impossible) especially when using a beefy aftermarket clutch. Getting into first gear or reverse sitting still is sometimes a chore! For years the industry has been using band-aids to ease these problems, but nobody has actually FIXED them. ...Until now. By combining our expertise with tuner and mechanical engineer Alvin Anderson (of PCMForLess) as well as employing a few concepts used by multiple NASCAR teams here in the Mooresville area, Tick Performance has developed an adjustable master cylinder that will effectively and reliably solve all of the problems that have plagued these cars in the past. Our new Tick Performance Adjustable Clutch Master Cylinder Kit ships complete with everything needed to install including our custom Tilton Adjustable Master Cylinder, our new Unrestricted and Heat Wrapped Clutch Hydraulic Line, all necessary hardware, self-stick template for drilling, and easy to understand instructions. Our new Adjustable Master Cylinder successfully flows more fluid than the stock unit, makes clutch disengagement issues a thing of the past, uses a simple turnbuckle adjustment system and installs in 60-120 minutes.

GM Clutch Slave Cylinder $149.99


Tick Performance Remote Clutch SPEEDbleeder Line $49.99

Bleeding the late model GM hydraulic system in it's stock form is a bear. You've got to have someone pump the pedal while you're under the car cracking the bleeder and hoping everybody's timing is right - not to mention keeping the reservoir full! It's easy to see how something so simple can quickly turn into a huge ordeal. With our "One Man Job" Remote Clutch SPEEDbleeder Line, Tick Performance is taking great strides in making things much easier on you. At 4'+ in length, you're able to route the line to nearly anywhere on the car you want. Here in house, we usually zip tie it to a brake line coming out of the brake master cylinder so it's easy to reach with the hood popped. Another huge improvement is our SPEEDbleeder end - allowing you to simply crack it open one time and close it once the air is out of the system, instead of having to open and close the bleeder with every pump of the pedal. Instead of hassling with your hydraulic system every time you want to bleed it, rely on Tick Performance to make the job much easier for you with our "One Man Job" Remote Clutch SPEEDbleeder Line. A must-install next time you've got the transmission out of your LS1 F-Body, C5 Corvette or 04-06 Pontiac GTO.

My clutch doesnt seem to be slipping running through the gears, but something is causing a swiping noise at engaugment when I let the clutch out in first.

I might be due for clutch number 4

The maxium torque numbers you have listed, Is that at the wheels or the motor?

The torque capacity is rated at the flywheel.

Do the spec 1 kits come with a pilot bearing, or do I need to order one separately?
