Default Clutch for Trans Am?!?!

My tranny just took a dump in my 99' Trans Am. I found a guy to rebuild it for about $500-$600, but I need to find a decent clutch. Does anyone know of any? Something cheaper the Spec stage 1, which is over $250 I think. Thanks!

Let me get this straight, you want a clutch thats cheaper than $250, and you want it to be "decent" ?

Go with the LS7 clutch.. I got mine from scoggins dickey with the LS2 flywheel for like $500. Good up to around 500HP.. Cheaper than rebuilding the stock clutch, and it's better.

Thanks for the help Z28! lol. M-ten, do you know where I can get a LS6 clutch and pressure plate? I heard they will bolt right up to a LS1 fbody. And I was just gonna resurface my flywheel. I don't plan on making anything over 400-450hp any time soon, don't have the money.

Go to Scoggins Dickey.. And make sure you get the LS7 clutch, not the LS6. Get the LS7 clutch, it comes with an LS2 flywheel. I think the total price for that was around $460.. I also got either the master or slave cylinder -- can't remember which one.. for a very good price.. All together I think I paid around $500.

Very good clutch and was very inexpensive.. You can also get an aluminum flywheel for another like $150 or so, I didn't get it because I didn't have the money at the time.

Hope this helps
