Default Monster 3.5 how all aftermarket clutches should be.

Well, I got my car back from the shop with a new 3.5 monster and a build trans. Had to put in a new torque tube too, so I upgraded to a Z06. No FREAKING CHATTER! It's so nice to be able to shift again and not sound like the damn car is falling apart when driving by someone. I really can't imagine why people would not do the .5 clutches for an extra $100.

Shop that did the work commented how the friction material looked like it could hold a lot of HP. I told them more than I had

Thanks to Steve from SNL for building a great clutch. I have to put about 450 more break in miles on it then it's game on.

I have a 3.5 and LOVE it so far. After around 200 miles or so the clutch really starts driving damn close to a stocker, u will see! Haven't had it to the track yet....but it dosen't mind the street duty so far w/ 7k pwr shifts.

Thanks guys, glad you are liking your setups.

No worries LS199CamaroZ28....when you wear yours out, you can always call me up and get a 3.5 then

Now I have a question. Let's say the clutch is worn out, but the flywheel and pressure plate are fine, could you just replace the disk and call it a day?

If you purchase one of our units we will take care of you down the road. I WILL NOT sell our parts individually to anyone else.

Just another reason why Monster is just not your everyday clutch company. It goes WAAAAY beyond just the clutch....the tech/warranty/customer service that comes along with it as well.

I'm glad I wandered into the Manual Trans. section tonight. I'll have to remember this thread. Perhaps by the time my LS7 clutch dies, I'll have more power and will need one of these!

It's not crazy, it's how it should be done.

i just ordered a stage 3 friday or so. I was gonna get the stage 3.5 but i was told if broken in properly i would have basically no chatter unless i'm trying to start from first with no throttle or something like that. I was pretty confident in what matt told me. He said if i install the clutch properly and break it in i wouldn't have any problems. I'm goin for it either way haha i just want to see if anyone begs to differ
