Is The Spec Stage 3 Clutch Kit Good For Daily Driving?? I am getting my spec stage 3 clutch kit with new slave and master cylinger from gm for an 02 trans am with my stock flywheel just re surfaced and i was wondering if this is a good set up for mostly daily driving and occassional racing at the track. Please post your opinions thanks guys . Also i wanna get a hurst billit plus shifter will that work good with my set up cause sometimes i have trouble from second gear to third

The spec 3 is a puck style clutch.. it HATES daily driving and most of the spec 3 complaints are from people with daily drivers. You CANNOT slip or ride this clutch or it WILL go out on you very quickly. That said, I have a spec 3 in mine.. but I am very conscious about not slipping it. The tires bark at every stop light and stop sign, because you HAVE to let the clutch out that fast.. you CANNOT roll into first riding this clutch. It will hold up very well at the track.

ROFLMAO.....i had a stage 3 in my old setup that was DD'd and slipped it all the time no issues.but from here on out i go under the assumption the person isnt a great driver and makes it easy for them with less complaints.YES u can use a stage 3 for a DD car without barking the tires,i never had that issues.but it was more effort and a 3+ should be easier.

i had a spec 3 and i dd in alot of traffic it went out in 5000 miles and it never saw any rpm drops or the track and chattered alot. then went to spec 3+ and is a world of difference and for the people that say its b/c i didnt set it up right i did. i had it sent to a machinest and installed by NLP. go with the 3+

I have a spec 3 in my daily driver and have had it in there for about 25K miles. It's pretty easy to drive. I can take off just fine without too much chatter or barking the tires. It did take some getting used to though. They didn't have the 3+ when I bought mine but if I had it to do over again now I would go 3+.
