Default Monster Clutch 500 + mile update:
Aside from some idiot at Bailey's Auto in Olathe, KS leaving my master cylinder cap off after installing it, the Monster clutch Level 1 is far superior to the Spec Stage 1.
Absolutlely no chatter.
With the Spec stage 1, the chatter was most noticible in reverse.
But this Monster Clutch has been silky smooth after about 30 miles of use.
A bit touchy the first 30 miles but nothing you dont get use to.

I just returned from a round trip, weekend trip to St. Louis. I will probably still tool around town (back in KC) this week before any WOT launches.



Wonder if I change my OEM stock gears if I will notice any further difference...

Glad the clutch is working for you.

General Question: Anyone on a Fbody have a Monster 12k+ miles yet, track use optional. Just curious.

I've got a few Fbody's with that many miles that are my testers. I'll see if I can get them to post up here.
