Hey Guys & Girls,
Xtreme Clutch has now joined forces with LS1.com.au to showcase some of our latest Products & show LS1 user's why the Xtreme Clutch is the preferred Clutch choice of many.
Xtreme Clutch are the leader's in the Australasian Performance Clutch market & it's no wonder that we have produced the first clutch product that exceeds expectations in every department which suits high horsepower LS1-LS3 powered Vehicles.
Offering an Industry leading Clamp Load Rating, We now have a new kit released under the Xtreme Clutch Brand which has a Steel backed Pressure Plate, High Performance organic drive plate & a ductile flywheel, & Pressure Plate Bolts that complement the Kit.
The High Clamp Load Pressure Plate is self-adjusting as per the Factory Unit, meaning it is the only real High Performance Clutch Kit on the market that delivers factory pedal feel.
Available to suit LS1-LS3 powered vehicles, the Kit has undergone testing with major Supercharger & Turbo Charger Kit manufacturers, behind Engines producing well over 400RWKW delivering exceptional Results
This new product has been released to the market as a High-Horsepower Street Clutch for forced induction LS1-LS3 powered vehicles seeking absolute factory Driveability.
Xtreme also deliver's on Price. The KGM30602HD modular Kit is significatntly cheaper hten many "Racing Clutch" alternatives that have driveability characteristics far removed from the new Single Plate Kit from Xtreme.

Ok I'll go straight in here as I've driven a few LS1's equipped with Xtreme clutches and my opinion is that they are rubbish. A good mate of mine had one that shuddered, slipped and on a few occasions locked on but came good when it was allowed to cool down. His was the worst but of the others i've driven shudder was excessive considering the lack of clamping force.
Why would your product be preferred over Textralia or the Mal Wood Products?

Yep all single plates but I can't recall all the details. Carbon ceramic composate plate in at least one of them from memory. Average bolt on power for all of them at the time I drove them.. One is a TT now but I haven't heard how its going.

Just to add a non biased opinion to this thread as we use any product as long as it delivers for our customers on all counts. We have tried almost every brand of clutch available for the LS1 even dating back to 2000 in the very early days of develpment. I will say that some of these very well marketed clutches people often talk about don't really fair to well from our experience & often any bad feedback is very well hidden or muffled before word gets out on forums etc, etc.. This is of course without pointing the finger at any one particular company. Modern organic style clutches with the right cover design can be a very good alternative in a high powered street application. It's horses for courses. We fitted many Extreme's over the years & had found them very good. The product was very well presented, worked very well & their product support was always excellent. Overall they are a very proffesional company that seems to continually look for ways to improve. We currently have our own clutch product developed in house at G&D & have had for the last couple of years but would still be more than happy to fit another extreme with confidence in comparison based on our past experiences with them. I welcome them to these forums & hope they get a chance prove their worth in a fair playing field.

Unless criticism is warranted (in which case, it should at the outset be handled by phone/email) - and not merely conjecture, or anecdotal, it will be removed.

Welcome aboard guys, I will say i have an Extreme cushion button clutch in mine which has so far lasted me close to 60,000 k's..and by no means has it been treated easy, those that know me will attest to that, it has copped a hammering including down the strip and track days etc.. and only now its just starting to show signs of giving up.
having said that i am not pushing a large amount of KW'S only 250 rw kw's. But I like it and when this one is ready to come out I will certainly consider it again.

Macca, I think this is a new model and may have some improvements over previous ones. Lets give them a chance and see if the product is as good as they state it is. Its no good rubishing a new sponsors product if it hasn't really been tested against its previous offerings or competitors yet.

Yeah fair enough but from what I've experienced from them in the past is why I was so forward on my opinion. This new product still has a self adjust mech as was illustrated in the initial post. That's where the locking on problem lied with the old ones and with the OEM ones too (that's how mine failed). Other brands that members here have been using for years don't have this feature as its not required and so it doesn't fail.
We will see how this new product goes. Not my money so I'm not concerned, but just trying to give experiences of their previous products to give others a heads up. But I'll be the first to say I told you so if/when the failures start popping up.
If they turn out to be a great product, I'll change my opinion... Not holding my breath though.
The original question I put forward hasn't been answered yet.. WHY IS THIS PRODUCT BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE ON OFFER FROM TEXTRALIA OR MAL WOOD?

Macca- i will let you know in a week or two has i got to work on a car that has this clutch and the vechile '' is said to make a bit of power'' somewhere in the region of 325-350 rwkw n/a-will see:confused:
i will see how it holds up to the test-
my old xtreme is still holding up fine and thats had over 10 bottles of n20 thru it and had a so called 395 rwkw give or take a few-

Hello, I have acouple of questions:
What is the price of the VE clutch?
Does it shudder, rattle, or squeak when you take off slowly?
Will it handle 400rwkw, as my car is twin turbo.
Do you guarantee that the clutch will hold the power, and if so, what after sales service cover do you have in place if the clutch fails? Will you replace it free of charge?
Is the pedal feel similar to the VE stock clutch, or is it heavier?
Will it be OK with 4-5000rpm clutch dumps at the drags on slicks?
I only have the stock clutch in it at the moment. I'm rather apprehensive about clutch upgrades, because I do not want an aftermarket clutch that shakes, rattles, squeaks, barks, or shudders in this car. However I do want a clutch that holds the power,

We have supplied these particular Clutch Kits in a few VE Commodores in Adelaide through THR Developments, KPM, Willall's etc with anywhere from 300KW's to 400KW's with the GENTT Kit's fitted & are yet to have any problems but unfortunately Adelaide is still yet to be graced with a Drag Strip so these are all Street Driven Car's only but we've also been supplying these in Drag / Street Cars & have had very positive feedback. Pedal feel is slightly more then standard but we've had many customers comment that its very much the same so I guess everyone has their own opinion on that... We will supply to what you tell us, EG. You need to be very honest in what you're doing with the Car, There is no point missing out a few minor details because 9 times out of 10 this is why Clutches seem to come back:( We have various styles & options depending on what the Car is used for & what is best suited to the Driver & Vehicle. We have a 20,000KM Warranty or 12 Months, whichever comes first but we have an excellent Group of Distributors both here in Adelaide & Interstate who are always more then happy to look after their customer's in the event where there is a problem.

i just put one of these extreme clutches in seems ok the one test i gave it last night. all i know so far is that its not that heavy i expected alot worse. it does shudder abit if taking off slowly but not enogh to bother. and its easy just to give it a few more revs.
how are you ment to run in clutches is there a special method? also i have the clutch disk that looks like a fan blade the ceramic non cushioned disk is that a button clutch? i know its not an organic one just wondering.
after i'v driven it abit it has started to shudder quite alot drove it about an hour yesturday through the city and the shudder was pretty bad.

I am willing to give one of these new clutch kits a try. But whats the part number for LS1????????? So far youve said KGM30602HD and KGM30601HD, and in your banner ad at the top of the page the part number says KGM30502HD to suit LS1-LS3? also the catalogue on your website is out of date and doesnt seem to have this new clutch kit listed on there. WTF is the proper part number???!!!

I just bought an xtreme organic HD clutch and flywheel kit from an online Ebay seller including new slave cylinder for $960. Hope it does the job as current std jobbie packs it in over 4000 rpm, it doesn't slip but the pressure plate is starting to fail.
cheers

Just a bit of feed back regarding this clutch it's been 9 months behind 270 odd rwkw car with 18ks and still hold up very well. Can't fault it's operation but havn't tried to launch it with DR's at the track either. I am about to put a stroker in it and will stay with this clutch however I think it may be the end of it.
cheers

I am deciding what clutch to put in my ute, I have an xtreme HD organic job in my VX (bolt ons and tune), it (the clutch)has done roughly 100,000km and has always worked perfectly, none of the fade and slip the original had if pushed hard and no sort of abuse it recieved ever so much as yeilded any clutch burning smells. I took the engine out this week to replace the rear main brg seal. Apart from some gum from the oil spatter, there is virtually no sign of wear. It has worn perfectly evenly and I was quite happy to reinstall it. The feel is a little heavier than standard, but you can really only notice it if you get out of the ute (standard clutch) and into the car, if you go from car to ute they feel the same. To be honest I only went for the xtreme as my clutch failed and I did not have the funds to go a tex (this clutch was nearly $500 cheaper than the tex). The reason I am debating now which clutch to get for the ute is I am going further with mods and although I am happy with the one in the VX the utes larger motor and going further with mods and the fact I intend to do more track work with it I am going to research. My experience with xtreme is all good the clutch delivers what they told me it would and feels like they promised. If I had any criticism it is that the thrust brg is just as loud as the original ie you can hear it.
I am a little dissapointed in the attitude of the posts in this thread. Of course this company is going to advertise their wares, they all will. They have not denegrated anyone elses product, just said theirs is good...it is.
my $00.02c.

Macca I installed this clutch a few years ago and I know for sure it doesn't have a self adjusting mechanism... I guess it all depends on which option you get...
The 290mm Clutches which are the same diameter as the OE Spec Clutches are the same Self-Adjusting type Pressure Plate but we also offer this in a Heavy Duty option which is the Xtreme Heavy Duty Clutch Kit which we have advertised both here on the LS1 Forums & various other Magazines etc.
We also offer the 280mm Clutch Set-up's which come with a Chrome-moly Flywheel which instead have the normal Diaphragm fingers as opposed to the OE "Style" Pressure Plates.
We also have the Xtreme Carbon Triple Plate Clutch Set-up's which we rate to over 1200RWHP:smilesandbanana:
If you have any questions or enquiries then please don't hesitate to email me chris@australianclutch.com.au or feel free to post on the forum or even give us a call 1800CLUTCH:smilesandbanana:
