Default Monster half levels? - Am I missing something?

I've been planning to order a monster clutch, so periodically check the website. My question is what is the difference between the level 2 and 2.5?

The description and the stats are the same on the website. I searched on the forum and couldn't find much.

the lvl 1-5 have a little chatter during the initial break in process of 500 + miles recommended. the lvl 1.5-6.5 are chatter free guarantee, smoother engagement.

The 1/2 levels are a "no chatter" guarantee.

Any other questions, feel free to call/pmemail, as I am a dealer for Monster

Full faced (.5's) vs puck-style clutches. The puck clutches will have some chatter to them, but are really nice clutches. I believe that the level 3 is their most popular, and what I was running for the last 23K miles. Moving up to a level 4 now. Steve is pretty damn proud of his puck clutches, and will usually reccommend them over the full faced, depending on your specific needs.

Well, the "lower levels" like Level 1 and 2, ARE full face as well. Level 3 and up, yes, are puck. Difference in Level 1 and 2 and 1.5 and 2.5 are teh material that is in them....

Maybe your not sure what full face and Puck are?

Go to this page....the first (2) clutches are full face. Levels 3-5 on this page, are "puck" design...

I just got my lvl 3.5 installed over the weekend, I picked it up at the shop today. I notice its alot harder to push the clutch pedal in, giving my leg a work out. also the tranny shakes a little in 1st in low rpm but not in other gears. would adjusting the MC solve this issue???
