Putting an LS7 Clutch into the CTS-V Street Car

- The LS7 clutch is one of the most popular clutch upgrades for a V1 over the stock configuration. Ditching the dual-mass flywheel for a lighter setup means a quicker revving engine that has much less rotational mass in the driveline.

Bought a V1 2 months ago and this video is exactly what I needed to learn more about the ls7 clutch upgrade. Thank you!
You got it - thanks for watching!
@@mike_stancecoMike where did you find struts for ur v or did you go coilover?
@@captainbass5482 I have Megan Racing coilovers on this one and BC Racing coilovers on my other.
@@mike_stanceco how do u like the bc racing im tryna bring my 04 back to life and always wondered how everyone felt compared to the original fe4
@captainbass5482 I love them. They’re a little stiffer, but the height adjustability is the added benefit
Living the dream lol two v1s beauty’s man
Thank you! Were out here tryin’
Just upgraded to an ls7 clutch on my 00 ws6 after my clutch completely died. I always had this weird noise at idle when I let the clutch pedal out since I bought the car like 2 years ago it was like a Constant whirly marble kinda sound but when you pushed the clutch it would go away. Well when I went to pull the pilot bearing it was no longer a bearing just a big metal race with a bunch of black magnetic powder. I guess at some point in the cars life the needles somehow disintegrated me and the previous owners got super lucky and it didn’t damage the Input shaft. With this new clutch everything is so tight and quiet it’s like a completely different car! I’ve only got like 28 miles on the new clutch but so far definitely loving it!
I was gonna say, sounds like a shot bearing lol Good to hear though! I love the LS clutch on these cars.
Excellent vidéo Mike, your black V whit RS05 inspires me to buy a cts v last summer 😁 , thanks for sharing information
Thats awesome! Thanks for watching!
I definitely need this upgrade..I got a cammed 05 V.
So much better than the stock clutch!
What about a Mcloud clutch?
Good video do you happen to have part # for ls7 clutch...is it the 04-216 clutch kit?
Great video brotha.
Thanks for watching!
Do you know a way we can find out how many of these are left on the road?
Hey Mike, did you ever get an answer for the uneven wear on the LS7 clutch you pulled out?
Hey what’s up bud, so I my slave cylinder is puking fluid and my pedal is down to the floor. I have a full Luk LS7 clutch and I plan on running the LS7 flywheel as well paired to LS7 slave. Is there anything else that is needed or any tips in regards to running full LS7 clutch?
No sir. As long as you do everything LS7, it should go together easily!
i def recommend the tick speed bleeder too!
@@mike_stanceco amazing gonna dive in this weekend I ordered the tick bleeder thanks bro!
Good luck!
How much power do you think ls7 LUK clutch can handle ? I got a 240sx 6.0 turbo. Looking to make 500-600whp
I think around 475 lb ft of torque is where they tend to hit their limit. Although a 240 is lighter, so it could work.
So if I get ls7 slave I want need spacer ?? Because I bought an spacer already
If you get an LS7 slave, no spacer is needed. If you get a CTS-V slave, a spacer is needed.
sometimes people shim them once installed, but i never had to
Also did u have to make an notch for the speed bleeder ??
i don’t think i notched for the speed bleeder. i think i clearanced a little for the clutch line though
what car are you buying the ls7 spacer for, my car has ls7 clutch and its hard as fuck to get into first and reverse at a stop. need more travel
On the V1, if youre installing an LS7 clutch and get an LS7 slave, you dont need a spacer. If you keep a V1 slave, you need a spacer. Your issue sounds like it could be shifter bushings and/or the clutch master failing.
Is the part number for the flywheel luk-lfw191?
Yep, I believe thats the right one!
Wheel specs?
Enkei RS05-RR 18x9.5 +22 with 235/40r18
