Spec Stage 3 Install few questions Hey Guys,
Well I just finished installing the spec stage 3 clutch (yeah,love it or hate it) in my 02 Z28 and had some questions. My old clutch which was also a spec stage 3 always had a high engagement point, so when I installed this one I put the shim provided behind the slave cylinder thinking it would lower the engagement point. Well it turns out it engages at the same point if not a little higher
So my question is what do you guys recommend I should do? Also, the clutch slipped when I gave it some gas in a higher gear, is that normal? There is only 10mi on the clutch.
Oh and it does have the drill mod,
Thanks in advance,
Kevin D

There's nothing you can do about the engagement point. You can move it a little closer to the floor with an adjustable master (not sure it's worth the effort). Break it in and you should be good to go.

adjustable master wont help if its slipping already. did you reuse,turn the flywheel? sounds like maybe the flywheel is to thin now and the hydroilics cant make up the difference
