    Spec stg 3 will not grab please help

    I have been driving like an old lady for the passed 200 miles. I did install a new rear main seal but it doesn't leak, at least I don't think does.

    Spec stg 3 will not grab please help

    BTW, the stock cable hooked on the first hook of the quadrant makes the pedal pressure feel very light compared to what it did with the adjustable cable hooked onto the 2nd quadrant hook. The clutch engages almost at the top of the pedal.

    Spec stg 3 will not grab please help

    I'm pretty positive the cable is routed correctly. It is routed just like it came from the factory. Like I said, I removed the adjustable cable and replaced it with my factory cable, but for some reason the factory cable only reached to the first hook on the triple hook quadrant, where as the...

    Spec stg 3 will not grab please help

    Now I'm confused. I swapped the UPR adjustable cable out today for the stock cable because I thought the UPR cable was causing my clutch pedal to feel "sticky." I was wrong because the clutch pedal still feels sticky and a little jerky with the stock cable. But now my clutch barely grabs. I...

    Question about clutch pedal

    I ordered the stg 2 and was accidentally sent the stg 3, so I figured I might as well keep it since I got a good deal. I think the problem is my clutch cable because my friend says he has the same problem with the UPR kit. The clutch pedal feels "sticky." I doubt its the throw out bearing...

    whats your STREET engine choice?

    I'm happy with my little 302 combo... Edelbrock Performer heads, Performer intake, and a good ole Crane 2040 cam (e-cam).

    Question about clutch pedal

    I just installed a spec stg 3 clutch along with a UPR triple hook quadrant, adjustable cable, and firewall adjuster. When my motor is cold before warming up the clutch pedal feels nice and smooth, but after it warms up it feels kind of weird. Its hard to explain. It still has the same pedal...

    Will I gain any power by switching to an x-pipe?

    Well I do want to quiet my car down some. I do a lot of driving late at night and I have angered my neighbors before because my car is so loud.

    Best shifter for a TKO-500?

    I'm not sure I like the shifter that came with my new TKO-500. I think its a Hurst, but am not positive. It just doesn't feel that good compared to the pro-50 shifter I had in my T-5. Which is the best shifter for a TKO? Money is not an issue. Thanks.

    Will I gain any power by switching to an x-pipe?

    I just ordered a Bassani o/r x-pipe to replace my p.o.s. BBK o/r h-pipe. Will I feel any noticable gains in power from an x-pipe? I remember hearing they are better in the upper rpms than h-pipes.

    TKO 500/Spec stg 3 installed... First impressions

    I can tell the difference from just starting the car up, then when I rev it in nuetral it revs noticably easier than before. I haven't really felt a difference yet when driving because I have been babying it, and will do so for the next 500 miles. It does feel like I might of lost a little...

    TKO 500/Spec stg 3 installed... First impressions

    After driving around some more I have come to realize that it really is not that bad. Its def. not the best daily driver clutch out there, but is managable. It just grabs really hard, really fast, and that is something I'm getting use to. I'm sure as time progesses and the clutch/tranny break...

    TKO 500/Spec stg 3 installed... First impressions

    As previously stated, I ordered a stage 2 from JDS performance and they sent me a stage 3. So I paid for a stg 2 and got a stg 3 out of it. I posted here on stangnet debating whether I should I keep the stg 3 or send it back for the stg 2, and pretty much everyone said to keep the stg 3 so I did.

    TKO 500/Spec stg 3 installed... First impressions

    I hopefully will... It took my buddy and me all yesterday and half of today to do this swap and I really don't feel like doing it again anytime soon. I've only put like 15 miles on my new setup so I can understand that nothing is broken in yet and I am not use to it. Hopefully as time...

    TKO 500/Spec stg 3 installed... First impressions

    I ordered a stg 2, but JDS accidentally sent me a stg 3. I made a thread here on stangnet a couple weeks back on whether I should send it back for a stg 2, or keep it. EVERYONE who responded to my post said to keep it so I took their advice. Now I'm not so sure if I should have taken their...

    We finished up my TKO/clutch swap today. A TKO500, spec stg 3 clutch, and fidanza aluminum flywheel are now added to my mods list. The installation went very smooth and we ran into no problems. Now for the driving part... The TKO feels very strong and is not nearly as notchy as most people...
