Will the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch fit a 2015 Camaro SS?

Yes. EXEDY USA lists the 04953 for the 2010-2015 Camaro SS with the six-speed manual and the 6.2-liter LS3. Turn 14 application rows stop at 2012, but the manufacturer range covers the full fifth-generation SS, so the later cars are included here. The 1LE and ZL1 models are not named on either list.

How much power will the Camaro SS Stage 2 clutch hold?

EXEDY rates the 04953 at 640 lb-ft of torque capacity at the flywheel and 533 lb-ft at the wheels, with 1,014 lb-ft of clutch torque from a 3,372 lb clamp load. That suits a supercharged or heavily cammed LS3 on street or drag radial tires, short of the outputs that call for a twin-disc clutch.

Does the Camaro SS need a new flywheel with this clutch?

Check before ordering. The 2010-2015 SS left the factory with a dual-mass flywheel, and many performance clutches are paired with a single-mass flywheel instead. Confirm with EXEDY or the installer which flywheel the 04953 is meant to run against, and budget for it, because the transmission has to come out either way.

Is a six puck cerametallic clutch good for daily driving?

It works for a driver who accepts a firm, quick engagement. Puck discs bite with little slip and can chatter when pulling away gently, while the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch sprung hub takes some of that out. A mostly stock SS used in heavy traffic is better served by an organic disc.

What makes the 04953 different from the EXEDY C6 Corvette kit?

Both kits use a 290 mm six-puck disc, a 26-tooth spline and 3,372 lb of clamp load, but EXEDY publishes different ratings and fitment. The 04953 is rated at 1,014 lb-ft of clutch torque for the Camaro SS, while the 04952 is rated at 930 lb-ft and listed for the C6 Corvette only.

Description

EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for Chevrolet Camaro SS (6 Puck Disc)

EXEDY’s Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for Chevrolet Camaro SS gives the LS3 Camaro a single-disc clutch with 1,014 lb-ft of clutch torque capacity, built for the owner who has added a supercharger or a cam and tune and found the factory dual-mass setup slipping in third gear. A 290 mm six-puck cerametallic disc and 3,372 lb of clamp load carry the load.

Design and Performance

The six cerametallic pucks keep rotating mass down, which helps the LS3 rev more freely once the heavy stock assembly is gone. A ductile-cast cover delivers 3,372 lb of clamp load on the 26-tooth, 29.4 mm spline of the TR6060 gearbox, and EXEDY rates the kit at 640 lb-ft at the flywheel and 533 lb-ft at the wheels. The sprung center damper takes some sting out of the puck engagement.

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.
