Aftermarket Clutch?

[newton]

Just about to hit 50k miles and it appears as though the dealership will be replacing my engine. Since they will have the car apart, I would like them to examine/replace the clutch.

Are there any aftermarket clutch assemblys available for the 3.6 6MT? I have searched for a few days now and have only found V clutch replacements. Any ideas? What about a short shifter for the 6MT?

Sorry, I have no info on the clutch, but I would like to know what the heck was wrong with your engine!?!

I havent looked for a clutch as I don't need it replaced yet. Chances are, there isnt a performance replacement.

B&M have listed a short shifter for the CTS for a few years.

You're welcome to try it. It hasnt been talked about much. I personnally don't need shorter throws in the CTS.

In short, my engine is consuming 2+ quarts of oil every 1,000 miles. Its not dripping out, no evidence of any leak, I am not puffing smoke at startup, no strange smells. Basically my engine is burning oil somehow somewhere and so far after 6 months neither the dealership or GM have had any remedies.

As of today, they have the engine out and apart and a GM tech will be visiting the dealership to asses the next steps. I believe that there MUST have been some damage done to my engine due to this issue and I expect an engine replacement. If they say 'rebuild', I will fight tooth and nail for a new engine entirely because this is unnacceptable for a car I purchased NEW in 05.

As for the short throw, the B&M one is ONLY for the Tremec 6 speeds and not the ASAIN 6 in the 3.6. I would like to put an aftermarket clutch in because I know that GM will charge me an arm and a leg for a stock clutch anyway.

Last chance anyone know of an aftermarket clutch for the 3.6 6MT???? A new factory one is being ordered if an aftermarket one cant be found...
