To you F/I guys...

[warmonger]

could you please explain that? do u mean bein if it doesnt have glazing or things of the sort? cuz i am definetely either doin this or puttin in a spec stage 3

All I'm saying is if the pressure plate isn't grooved, or burned/cracked from a slipping clutch, then you'll be fine by just deglazing it with some 3M scotchbrite pads and a die-grinder. Then the same with the flywheel IF the flywheel has no groove from where the disc was wearing in. To be honest, I'd just buy a new SVT flywheel from Bill J. these days if you are unsure of the flywheel status and it has been machined once before.
The pressure plates rarely go out unless something was wrong or unless the clutch has been in a very long time.

Hmm so stage 3 should be sufficient? I was considering a Stage 4, cos I sure as hell wasn't paying for a 3+.....all of this is due to my CenterForce Dual Friction not being able to handle my new setup which I discovered during SZ06.

So Tom - Stage 3 should be anough then, huh?

Whatever you do dont get a spec clutch. They make really bad noises and ive herd nothing but bad things about them AFTER I dont put mine in grrr! I would go with a sash or a center force

Please stop spewing such garbage based solely on "i've heard".

Really bad noises? Uhm, ALL high strength clutches will have that noise. Price you pay..

For every "I've heard" you have, there are 10-15 more "I love"s. If you would like to return with something more solid, then I welcome you. If you would like to say "I have had bad luck with them, go for it, but if you have nothing more than heresay, please withhold any more advice on this subject..




kthxbye

You only hear about the bad while many of us have been running them just fine. Most aftermarket clutches have a clutch chatter to them. There are many on this board who have been runnign SPEC clutches in their cars for a long time without any problems. Yes, there are problems with them here an there, but the reason you don't necessarily hear them with other clutches is because the majority of the people on this board run SPEC or OEM.
