[SLR-le]

Can someone recommend a site that has racing clutches and flywheel for 2018 slr-le. I have the ss.v. supercharger but don't race

See here - 2.4L Performance Clutch by DDMWorks

or this

racing clutch for Ecotec 2.4 motor - Google Search. One of these may work. I'd hope that a clutch from a turbo'd 2.x Ecotec motor would work, but I don't know for sure. Some clutches specifically state they must be used with a custom flywheel.

I've been wondering if an OEM clutch from a turboed or SC'ed motor similar to the Slingshot motor might be designed to handle more power than the stock Slingshot clutch and if it might fit. A quick Google search shows the same clutch specified for the 2.2 and 2.4 Ecotec motors, but the 2.0 Ecotec motor seems to have a different clutch.

I have a DDM clutch kit with a lightweight aluminum flywheel. It is holding the power really well and so far I have been happy with it.

Just know that it isn't going to drive like stock anymore... With my setup, the clutch is quite a bit more aggressive and there is also more chatter/noise. It isn't a bad thing, but its good to know before hand.

I am sure DDM can give you some more detailed information on all the different options.

The 2.0L Ecotecs (LNF) have a dual mass flywheel that has 8 bolts on the flywheel going to the crank and the clutch disc is a completely different setup, that is why the 2.0L parts will not work on the slingshot.

Hi Trav!
Question. I am doing a new clutch since my motor is open. My old one was doing fine and at 50% but since things are open the labor is easy. Is the DDM overly stiff/annoying to puch in traffic? Is that sound too annoying? Aside from is being more durable, does is feel better? If so how? Thx!!!

We do have a new clutch disc we have been testing with our clutch setup that is a little less aggressive than what @TravAZ has in his setup also. The clutch setup that he is running will hold over 500HP without a problem, the new setup we have is more for people that are in the 300-400HP range. It has a full clutch face on one side, so the engagement is more smooth than the 6 puck version that @TravAZ is using. The pricing is the same between both clutch setups and it will be up on our site soon. Our entire site is being updated right now, so it has not been listed yet.

Hope that helps,
Dave

The stock Slingshot clutch feels really good to me. But if you have the motor out, now is the perfect time to replace the clutch with something the will be much more durable and wont slip when making more power.

The DDM setup seems really nice to me and the stiffer pedal and chatter is something that you learn to get used to after awhile.

Are you building a forged motor? Do you have a SC or TC?

Thx Trav, yeah doing forged. Stage 2 TC. Was your stock clutch slipping on your set up?

We have found quite a few clutches that have started to slip around 300ft/lbs of torque at the rear wheel, but that is also very dependent on what tire you have on the back. If you are still planning on running the stock tire or something similar, there is not enough grip in the back to stress the clutch. Our Slingshot was around 315 ft/lbs of torque on stock tires and no slipping of the clutch at all, then we swapped to some stickier tires and the clutch started to slip the next day and we have seen that a couple times on other Slingshots now also.

Hope that helps,
Dave
