Another Monster stage III install thread...
Another Monster stage III install thread... Just finished my install yesterday and am about 60 mi. into the break in period. I installed the clutch, flywheel, pilot bearing, new slave, Pro 5.0, and remote clutch bleeder. Had some trouble getting my hands on the right tool to pull the pilot bearing so wasted a good bit of time on that, (those things are stubborn) and aligning the clutch took a few tries, but got it all together no problem, trans slid right in. This was my first one so it was a learning experience and took awhile.
Remote bleeders are awesome and bleeding was the easiest part!
As far as performance on the clutch goes, it's awesome and grabs like right now! Chatters and shudders a bit, but that's expected for a break in period, just gotta raise the RPM's a little bit while getting into 1st, but great after that. Pro 5.0 feels good as well. Engagement point is stock and pressure is just a hair more. Feels great!
Once this break in period is up, I can't wait to slam some gears.

Well, after about 180 miles of in town use, the chatter is getting alot better. None in reverse anymore, still a good bit slowly going up very steep hills and slipping the clutch, but everytime I drive it, I'm getting happier and happier with it. I had to readjust the y pipe after getting it all back together to get rid of some of the bang from the chatter, it was up too high anyway, but I'm really impressed, it's exactly like they told me it was going to be and getting alot more livable.
My blower is getting put in tuesday, so we'll see how it holds up to that. Still, another 300 miles, and it's game on!
Break in period sucks, I can't wait to romp on it really good.

Glad to hear too. I just got my monster III clutch and tick MC installed last nite and got about 50 miles on it so far. This is also my first clutch job to so I dont understand how the adj. MC works right now. I got just a little bit of chatter in first but other than that everything is working awesome. Thanks Tick and SNLPerformance

Don't worry about the chatter, it will go away by 500 miles!
Also, get with Joey at Tick and he'll get you squared away on the adjustment process.
The chatter is 50/50.Mostly caused by minor high spots in the clutch disk and alot of clutches do this during break in. At 500 miles or so if it still has some chatter drive the car like you stole it or go to the track.That should smooth it for ya.
