I really don't know that much about the differances between the two  , but I would imagine that since it's a LS1 tranny you'd need a LS1 clutch. |

What it boils down to is "Will a LS1 clutch bolt onto a LT1 flywheel?" I'm starting to think that no one has done this before. I'll call GM tomorow and see if I can get some answers.

well i am still wanting to use the the ls1 flywheel....i think i can just use a lt1 clutch. But i'm kinda starting to think the same thing, i can't find anything about it.

the LT1 fly wheel looks differnt than the LS1 fly wheel. im not sure if the interchange, but i would say that they dont.
and if you have LT1 front then you need LT1 clutch etc...

you basically have an LT1 T56 and you have an LT1 engine, so i would then state that you need a LT1 clutch and flywheel. you might get the LS1 stuff to fit but why would you want to. it would make more work.

I just did 2 T56 conversions, one on my LT1 and one on my buddies LS1. Im absolutely positive that the LS1 flywheel will not fit your LT1 crank. I know the clutch pressure plates are completley different from one another too. So I doubt they will interchange, but I guess its always possible.
The main difference I see between the two transmissions would be the slave cylinder. On an LS1 car, the slave cylinder is mounted to the front of the transmission over/around the input shaft and it holds the throwout bearing so it doesnt need a clutch fork. On an LT1 the slave mounts to the bellhousing and pushes on one end of the fork to depress the throwout bearing, which is mounted to the pressure plate fingers.
I understand you have and LT1 bellhousing and input shaft, is the front part of the transmission itself also LT1? Meaning provisions for the LT1 clutch fork instead of the LS1 slave assembly.
If you have the LT1 slave/fork provisions, I'd say you need an LT1 clutch. Otherwise you'd have to confirm the fit of an LS1 clutch to an LT1 flywheel.

just thought of another thing if you have the LS1 Throwout bearing then you might see if you can use a SBC flywheel and clutch from a '87 or newer car. because as long as the dimensions are the same then the clutch should work on the LS1 t56.
oh and those clutches arent usually that expensive.
