Good , So smooth you can realy take off with no throttle if you easy off slow enough. Thats amazing IMO.

Im gettin more use to it, hopefully with a re-tune it will be even better.

Even more amazing with a cam.

If Adam can find a fix for your SPEC maybe you can sell it with a clear conscious and recoupe some $.

I already sent the spec back to them lasst week, ill see what they say.
I wouldnt sell it to someone they way it was. Im hoping to get a new pressure plate and disk so I can sell it to a F-body owner for cheap.

Even though alot of f-body guys have the same issue ( they can band-aid it with a adjustable master ) .

Adam thinks its a spacer issue and I dont think thats the case. I took some measurments when Mine was out and it looks like my spacer was alittle to small. But liquid ran it with a ls7 slave and he still has issues getting into gear so my theory is out the door.


I love the fidanza so far, Im at about 250 miles, So in another 2 or 3 weeks I should hit 500 and Ill have some nice WOT vids for everyone to enjoy

I put in the 7.6 in my car and I am having alot of problems with it. The clutch pedal is very nice, the clutch engagement is on or off, but not to hard to drive. I like the clutch but it will not hold my power. I took it to the track and made a few passes, I took it easy, taking off at 2,000 and no power shifting. I have made all of the adjustments to the MC and that is ok. I got two good passes out of it before it started slipping.

I was able to run one 10.0@148mph before the clutch gave up.

Outrageous man! Sounds like you need a sintered metallic disk set. Maybe a different puck design with less than six arms. Maybe Adam can help.

I hope so, My car is making just over 700RWHP so this clutch should have worked.

cam swap,headers,air kit and remap ecu.....

keep us updated how fidanza treats you and what they say about it.

what # brake fluid are you guys using? Ive got to bleed again since my pedal feels alittle slow/sticky as it pops up.

I want to make sure I get the best stuff in there.

I think I have some dot 3 in there now

People do not use this clutch if you are making over 600 RWHP it will not hold the power for you. I used the 7.6 twin and it was not able to hold my power.

Good to know ^^^^ i know there is always a couple problems though. I plan on going with RPS or Mcleod, most likely RPS. Although id still like to see more reviews of the Monster stage 3 even though its not a twin disc.

Aaron from Fidanza tried giving you a call today and it sounds like you hung up on him. Please give him a shout so he can get you taken care of, he said he called 3 times after the first initial call.


(440) 259-5656 EXT 116 if he does not answer please hit 0 and ask them to page Aaron.

This clutch is on 800+whp and 850+WTQ 2010 camaro's without any issues. This is why Fidanza wants to gets the clutch from you an get it inspected.

They also have this same 7.6 in their 1100whp C5 vette and it was working great.

Give Aaron a shot, if your not satisfied with the service he will provide to you. He will get you setup with an RMA and I can personally work on getting you a twin you would want.

Let me know,
Adam

^^^ anxious to hear how this turns out... I'm just now needing a clutch but if I'm to be one of the early adopters, I need to know the company will stand by their product...

I don't need (and can't afford) another SPEC "issue"

would a tune be required with this kit seeing how light it is? i would think with reducing rotating mass by this amount with a system as sensitive as ours we would need some help with drivability.

I find that hard to believe. Ive got it in my camaro thats 3600-3800lbs (last year my car dynoed 530hp & 640trq, probably 600hp & 700trq now with the new boost controller and 40% more boost) I think you had other issues. 1. did you go with the aluminum or the steel flywheel? 2. did you go with a lager capacity master? 3. Did you replace the slave? Id guess you had something funky happen with the hydraulics, not allowing it to fully engage.

I cant tell you how many people i see try to save $150 bucks re-using a 50+k mile slave with a $1200 clutch.

Ill keep you guys posted if i can get this clutch to slip. Im sure ill break my rear before then.



Good luck with fidanza, the guys i talked to were great. Im really interested to see what happens.

I have all new hydraulics on the car. There is a problem with the clutch not the hydraulic system. My textralia twin set up never had a problem holding the power, I just did not like the way it drives.

Video from the track on 8psi, at this power the clutch does not have a problem, as soon as I turned it up to 10 PSI then it will slip.

If you are running a cam , then yes you will need a re-tune. I know I do at least.

And as far as the spec issue goes, I sent my 3+ kit back to them and he said everthing is fine , but he is sending me a stage 1 disk instead because he thinks my issue was from the heavy disk and said my syncros must be bad,. But everything works fine with the twin

Yep Im getting killed by retunes, I know when I do a clutch if I need a tune for it im gonna have to bite the bullet and make it worthwhile by doing a FAST and TB along with whatever else I can afford.
