Tranny Coming Out - Clutch Opinions

[lgndracer]

My car is at the dealer right now looking at the trans again. They have decided to do the TSB for the 3650, and since it is going to be out, I might as well upgrade the clutch. I am leaning towards either the Spec Stage II or the Centerforce.
I know this has been bounced around often, but I don't really seem to see a lot of definitive results. Those who have replaced clutches, and hopefully have roughly the same power as me, I would really like to hear your opinions.

Thanks in advance for any help.

i would go with centerforce DD. stay far far FAR away from SPEC.

or get Macleard(sp?)

mity what kind of problem did you have with the spec clutch. i have driven a car with your power with a spec 3 clutch and it felt great.. i did not install that clutch i was doing other work on this car..

nast nasty chatter probrem. I guess from what i'v been told, SPEC is sort of "hit" or "miss", and i was without question a miss.
Sometimes, after breaking it in, it gets better. And i'm not sure how people can drive it like that for that long. Imine shaked soo bad, no way i can safely back up the car. after 13miles, i've had it with it. i pulled it out, and got FRPP clutch

Break in on SPEC are VERY IMPORTANT!!! If you break in your spec properly(no wide open, excessive slippage, or WOT) for 500 miles you should be fine. I went with a Compition clutch stage II and a Fidanza aluminum flywheel. I would recomend this clutch to anybody because it is a respectable company that is pretty much a SPEC knockoff but almost 100 dollars cheaper. It drives like a stocker but bangs gears well.
