[blackink00]

[mity2]

anything other then SPEC.

 

[bdcardinal]

MMR clutches are really good too.

 

[03MGT]

I checked out the MMR clutches and they have alot of good reveiws. I might get one of those. Anyone use one of these??

 

[bdcardinal]

ive driven a few cars with them and they have great pedal feel.

 

[juiced_94gt]

MMR are good but McLeoud is the BEST when it comes to clutches

 

[hotrodnut]

anything other then SPEC.

Gee mity2, why would you say that?? ha ha, just kidding man, I know you should feel that way with what you went through with your deal.

 

[GitDat]

I was looking at getting a SPEC too.. hmm.

 

[03MGT]

I might go with Centerforce Dual Friction. Is this a good daily driver clutch???

 

[BullittStangV8]

stock clutch.

 

[GitDat]

stock clutch.

Ditto But only because of monetary reasons.. lol.

 

[Bullitt03]

Well i have a Spec stage III its works good for me and holds plenty click on mods to see whats it holding

 

[03MGT]

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.

 

[DerekStangGT]

hm, my SPEC stg II is aiight. it holds great and all, but next time im gonna try the centerforce dual friction.

Gee mity2, why would you say that?? ha ha, just kidding man, I know you should feel that way with what you went through with your deal.

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

With the centerforce clutch should I go with an aftermaket clutch Quadrant???? Like the Steeda Double Hook Quadrant???

 

[Azarello]

second King Cobra, It's great for me! And it can take a beating Too!
