Stage 2 installed about 8,000 miles ago with new aluminum flywheel. Cars mods are in signature... Started slipping right after installing headers and TD's. I guess it didnt like the extra hp.
Im planning on going with a stage 3. Does this sound like a good idea?
Future mod plans include only a cap swap, so i will be under 400rwhp at most in the future.

bad idea !!!!!! my spec stage 3 laste about 9000 before it started some nasty problems. go with mcleod single disc, thats a nice chuck of metal

Which of our sponsors has a good deal on this clutch?

also, will i need a new flywheel?

carado1984

did u upgrade your hydraulics?

at speed inc they only sell them with the flywheel so im thinking you need a new one.

upgrade hydraulics? Im not sure if upgraded, but any worn parts were replaced...the slave was replaced when the spec was put in

I installed a few Spec3 and up clutches and have had ZERO problems with them. I hear from ALOT of people that they are no good. I'm wondering if people are installing them and breaking them in properly. No clutch is worth a damn if it's not installed and broken in like it is supposed to be.

McLeod makes nice clutches for most applications.

I have heard alot of good things about textralia and would like to get some hands on experience with them.

good luck with you project.

why is the Mcleod so much more money. I dont mind paying a higher price for a better product, but what makes it different? does anyone have anymore detail. Thanks alot for the help so far.

Nope, you have to get the LS2 flywheel to use the LS7.

98z6speed

Sorry to bomb on your thread but would you guys buy a spec 1 if you got it for $100-$150?

+1 if you didnt upgrade the hydraulics on a 98 to 2001 and up parts that would be a problem for sure . Why did you go to stage 2 ? Stage 3 or 4 is the only way to go with spec. Aftermarket clutches are not made to last for 20k miles i dont care what anyone tells you they are not made for the long haul be prepared to replace an aftermarket performance clutch every 9-15k miles especially if you make anykind of power enless you dont drag or run it hard if that is the case sell the car

id go stg 3 for what you plan to have for power

i have the original X pad stg 3 with 30k on it and drive it hard still holds great.
liek stated before it is all in the install/break-in and if you slip it alot on the street. slipping a performance clutch its gonna burn up real quick
