Yea and i bet bet other brands have done the same thing. Two threads dont tell me ****. There are unanswered questions to both of these threads. When you start making more power the chances of things breaking go up. Im not defending spec. This forum can be like a soap opera, a couple guys have issues and all of a sudden its the parts fault and everybody jumps on the band wagon. I was just stating I've had good luck with spec and so has everybody I know that runs one.

I believe you, I dont think spec is the best clutch. Just have had good luck thats all. They did have some problems with some models, but I thought that was resolved. Personally I thought they were one of the better clutches for stock peddle pressure with good holding capacity. I respect your opinion no worries!

Like has already been said you won't find a good clutch under $300. I've only had it in for a few hundred miles, but FWIW I have been very happy so far with my RAM Powergrip, which runs about $500. Very streetable, grabs like a clamp, etc. I get some slight chatter on takeoff at times, but revving a little higher seems to fix it. Note that my gearing is stock. My only complaint is that the t/o bearing is LOUD, but I have heard that complaint about other clutches before as well. As far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with it other than the noise.

i agree with everyone else. 300 dollars or even less is cheap garbage. If your looking for a good clutch they start around 600 and up. Ram clutches are probably the least expensive for something that is fairly durable. I've seen them for about 4-500. Personally tho i'm looking at the dual friction centerforce clutch, last time i checked it was 650.

because a factory replacement from advance auto is only about 20 dollars less than a zoom so im thinking i would be better off with a stock, reputable brand clutch than some no name advance clutch. see my reasoning? why not look around and do some research on the best brand if its gonna cost the about the same as others, hence the "what is the best clutch kit for under $300" title
