I went to summit to look at the centerforce and it says no Throwout Bearing Included with that clutch kit. Why?? Every other new clutch kit comes with one.

aight. I have to be fair...

SPEC clutch is sort of "hit-n'-miss" clutch. appears to me that there is about 50% of people who gets it have great luck with it, and 50% of people hate its guts. I was a miss. I had no driveability what-so-ever. it was like flip switch. either fully engaged, or not at all. When you drive with clutch like that, what you get is nasty nasty chatter. its doing "engage", then "disengage", then "engage" again, and repeats that process like 10/sec until its either fully engaged, or disengaged completely. there is no slipage. None.
SPEC told me to i need to brake it in by driving traffic 300~500miles. way it shoke the car as it did the chatter, it would brake either motor mount or trans mount alot sooner then clutch is broke in. Thats IF it brake in at all
Somepeople say(again, hit-n-miss thing here). Some say after 1000~3000miles, it smooth out. Some had it for over 15000miles, and still chatters like day it was installed.


Now, the reason of this chatter is because clutch is increadibly grippy. So i guess its doing what its designed to do. Infact, if i ever going to build track only race car, i wont think twice about going with SPEC. Since you just pop clutch and go.
For my daily driver, no thanks. I got FRPP clutch, and never been happier.

I might not kept clutch on long enough. I took the thing out after 13miles of driving. But i wasn't going to drive the car like that for any length of time
