Does the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch for the C6 include a release bearing?

Yes. Turn 14 lists release bearing BRG0167 as part of the 04952 kit, so the pressure plate, six-puck disc and bearing arrive together. The C6 uses a concentric hydraulic release, so inspect the slave cylinder for leaks while the transmission is out, because reaching it again later means the same labor.

Will this clutch fit a C6 Z06?

Yes. Turn 14 lists the 04952 for the 2006-2010 Z06 with the 7.0-liter LS7, as well as the base Corvette from 2005 to 2012 and the 2010-2012 Grand Sport. The ZR1, which uses its own clutch arrangement for the supercharged LS9, is not on the application list.

How much power will this Corvette clutch hold?

EXEDY rates the 04952 at 734 lb-ft of torque capacity at the flywheel and 587 lb-ft at the wheels, from 3,372 lb of clamp load on a 290 mm disc. That covers a heavily cammed LS3 or a supercharged LS2 on street tires, while drag slicks and very high boost call for a multi-plate clutch.

Is a six puck clutch comfortable on the street?

It is usable but demanding. A puck disc has less friction area at the edge of engagement than a full-face disc, so take-up is quick and can chatter when pulling away gently. The EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch keeps a sprung hub to soften this, which suits a C6 that is driven hard more often than it sits in traffic.

How long does a C6 Corvette clutch replacement take?

Plan on a long day in a shop. The exhaust, driveshaft and torque tube come out along with the rear transaxle mounting before the clutch is exposed, which is why many owners pair a clutch change with a flywheel and slave cylinder at the same time. A lift and transmission jack are needed.

Description

EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for C6 Chevrolet Corvette (6 Puck Disc)

EXEDY’s Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for C6 Chevrolet Corvette is a single-disc answer for an LS2, LS3 or LS7 that now makes more torque than the factory clutch was designed to carry. Its 290 mm six-puck cerametallic disc sits under a 3,372 lb ductile-cast cover, rated by EXEDY at 734 lb-ft at the flywheel, enough for a cammed and tuned C6 or a supercharged LS3 on street tires.

Design and Performance

Six separate cerametallic pucks give the disc a large friction area at low rotating mass, so the engine still revs quickly between shifts. The 26-tooth, 29.4 mm spline matches the Tremec six-speed, and the 3,372 lb clamp load produces 930 lb-ft of clutch torque by EXEDY figures. A sprung center damper is retained to soften the hit a puck disc delivers to the half-shafts and torque tube.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
