clutch troubles, need advice... ok so i think my clutch is gone.
-spec stage 3
-new hydraulics
-all brand new fluid
-drill mod
-new pilot bearing
-stock flywheel off z06 (my stock one was gone!)
intalled everything like it said, used the shim and all that. well now when i get on the gas in 5th gear at about 45 mph the rpms just shoot right up. the car wont start to move until the clutch is totally out. the clutch has only been in the car for 5000 miles and hasnt been abused at all. it was properly broke in for the first 500 miles as well. id like to think it was something else failing but my only guess would be the master but i dont know if thats a problem a bad master would create and highly doubt it. so from how it seems im stuck with a $500 POS and a car that wont go cause im in school and cant afford that **** not working. i am correct in assuming the clutch is prob shot right? im going to call spec, i think it is rediculous for it to fail like that. just let me know anything else i can check out, and what better clutches there are out there.

Thats why I am not getting a spec. I barely ever race my car, and im not going crazy with the HP. I am going either with a LS6 and a LUK, cause both ar OEM and both should last a long time. Stock ones last longer usually.

Anyone remember eboggs from the other board? He was raving about these back in 03'. He drives a turbo bird. I had just toasted a RAM 980 at 10K miles so I tried it. 20K miles later, this clutch is awesome. The power goes to the tires, they just spin. Easy to drive in traffic, engagement is up to me as I have the adjustable master. I have it close to the floor. When we put my new motor in this year, the clutch and flywheel looked great. I've been running nittos RII's for 4 years.
