Default new clutch....

jus installed a spec stage 2+ clutch, and thers a lot of shaking and rattling goin on under the car. is this jus because this is a perfomace clutch?
should i replace some things like tranny bushing, torque arm, etc?
also is there anyway i can adjust the pedal, it lets off really low.

thanks

Sounds like you need to bleed the clutch a bit. That will help with the release point.

You are probably experiencing what is commonly known as "clutch chatter." This happens with lots of clutches. Follow Spec's break-in procedure. If it's still bad after break-in, come back and look in the "manual tranny" section.

My RAM clutch requires no break-in. It chattered a **** load when I first installed it. I reved it up to 4000, then let the clutch out slowly, while keeping the rpms at 4k. Did this a couple times and it helped to bed the clutch into the flywheel. I do not recommend doing this until after Spec's break-in procedure.

Hope this helps. Look in the manny tranny section for more info.
