Default How do you know its time for a clutch??

Pedal pressures good, doesnt slip, Its just starting to grind all the time starting off going up a hill, or just letting it out with a little to much throttle?? Whats a good clutch for my mods listed, planning on a mild head cam setup later on in the year. Thanks

im having problems with my clutch, i noticed that it got stuck after getting on it one day. it was stuck for a period of time like 2 minutes. i guess this mean its time for a new clutch for me also, what does it mean when something like that happens?

yzblue125 If you are going with a H/C setup I would change the clutch. If it is gringing you may have a bad bearing or all the material on the clutch disk is gone. Eather way it is time to pull the stocker out and go with a good one.

GKRETZ99TA Usually when the pedal gets stuck it is a hydrolic problem, I would try the drill mod first and a good bleeding. But if you are going to be moding your car it would be a good idea to change the clutch anyway. My friend blew his stock one up on a small cam only camaro.

I know alot of people who use the spec 3, but some people dont like them because they grap really hard. It is up to you just read some reviews on all the clutches you are interested in.
