Spec 2+ clutch

[Pops Fun]

Hi,
Hope to install a Spec 2+ clutch tonight along with new motor mounts (broke driver side)and reclutch my rear end (now doing the 1 wheel peel), time permitting.

Anybody using this clutch .. just wondering if I will hate life with a "grabby" clutch or if there will be much difference between that and the Centerforce I had for 9 months . Also a 475 mi. break in.. not looking forward to taking it easy for that long.!!

I run a SPEC stage 3 and although I dont drive it as much as I wuold like to I am pleased with it. My friend is an engineer with SPEC and he highly recommends following the break in.

Should not be as jerky as my stage 3 from what I have heard from others that used a stage 2 or stage 2+. I think you will be happy with it.

Thanks for the info... Guess I will have to break it in.. A fall cruise-in this Sunday Stangbangerz.com, guess there will be no burnouts for me!! Glad to hear you are happy with the clutch.

you will learn to live with the jerk if there is any. After I don't drive my car for a while it takes a little getting used to learing how to drive it, but it's no big deal. Again like slvrbullit302 said make sure you do the break in. Clutches are too big of a pain to change and to expensive.

Well thought I would have my clutch in by now but...... when we pulled the Alum. Flywheel it was toast... Have to see if I can get one tomorrow??
The ring gear was so lose it was rattling.. I thought a broken spring or the weights were lose on the clutch causing a rattle. No it was the Flywheel ring gear. Well will install new clutch anyway probably Fri. nite or Sat. if I can get a flywheel.. No it will probably be Sat cause there is a bachelor party Friday nite.

Update

Hi,

Got the clutch installed along with a new Flywheel and rearend kit (was doing the one wheel peel) . Broke the clutch in 400 miles before a "real burn out" .

Anyway took it to the track and what a difference. Much better short times. Had a 1.77 60ft. my best ever.... and my worst was a 1.9 At this track I always did 2's and worst....

Was it the rearend rebuild kit or the clutch ? I think the clutch is the difference.

The Clutch is a little harder to street drive (stiffer) it is much more of a off or on clutch then my centerforce.

Anyway I like the better 60ft.'s guess I have to put up with it on the street, not terrible just different.

What is the ring gear on the flywheel you're talking about? I have a fidanza aluminum flywheel and i'm having trouble picturing what you're talking about.

The outer gear that the starter turns is a different material and bolted/pushed ?? on.. I think that I got the flywheel hot and the expansion of the different materials warped one of them and made it lose and it rattled something fierce..

Gotcha. What brand flywheel was it?

 

[Pops Fun]

It was a Firenza Alum. Flywheel and I put another back in.

Hi
Yes I mean a fidanza.... I don't think they will, Paul's Auto is going to send it back and find out but they don't think they will. It had a bunch of hot spots on it. I hope they do though. My clutch was slipping and warped it I guess??
