Default Monster stage 3 clutch

Just ordered my clutch for my camaro finally. Gonna be replacing my spec clutch for a monster clutch stage 3. Ordered one cause I been reading up on here and seeing good reviews about it.
What yall think about monster clutch and what stage do you have?

Just got mine ordered level 3 too. I'll be replacing a stock clutch. I haven't really heard anything bad about any Monster clutches. I'm not sure if my clutch is slipping but I have a feeling it is. Even with a Tick MC, shifting from 1-2-3-4 my clutch pedal sticks on the 3-4 shift. Let us know how it feels once you get yours installed.

I absolutely love the Monster Clutch Stage III, no slips trips or falls!!! LOL I had a SPEC Stage III in my car prior to the Monster and it was a super clutch and performed flawlessly. It's just when i went through my tranny rebuild i decided to go with Monster due to all the good reviews to see for myself. To me they both make awesome clutches. Good luck with your Monsters!!!

I have the stage 3 and almost done with the intial break-in period. It feels good. A little chatter at first but that is starting to go away now. I am anxious to really beat on it to see how it feels.

I have the Monster stg 3 with tick master cylinder. It doesn't chatter or give me any problems at all...except it squeals every time I let out the clutch. Its like there is a glaze over it from daily driving the car a few times. I was told to just do a couple burnouts and launches and it would go away. It has not gone away no matter what I do. Kind of embarrassing when you take off from a public area and everyone thinks your car is a shitbox squeaker. lol

pros: easy to drive, holds big power, shifts quick

cons: squeals like a pig getting its ***** chopped off.

The only squealing sound I get is from the tires because the clutch grabs so hard, ha. My tires suck though.

My stage 3 with chromoly lightweight flywheel squeals too. I did clutch drops, hard shifts, and nothing makes it go away. I've been treating it like an on/off clutch and it doesn't help. Very embarrassing but it can take a punishment and not cry. Once it cools down in the fall, I'll see if the drag strip makes the squeal go away.

Stage 3 is a great clutch. The squeal does happen for me after the car sits for a while, but once I beat on it a bit it clears up

Ive had the stage 3 and Tick MC in my car for over a year now, still holding strong. Mine does squeal tho when taking off from a dead start, just started doing it about a month or so ago.

We install Stage 3 Monster's the most out of any level. Theyre awesome and built well. Installs and straight forward with no shimming or messing around needed.

Just install, torque, bleed and go!

We're gearing up to have a sale here pretty soon, if anyone needs something let your sponsors know!

Thinking bout getting a monster clutch soon but have a few questions. I was looking at a stage 2 I only go to the track 2 a year or so and the car only has bolt-ons. Should i get a stage 3 instead. Also should i get a chromoly flywheel or the billet steel one?

I would get the stage 3 with the full weight flywheel. I love my chromemoly one but it's not as user friendly as a heavier flywheel. You kind of have to treat it like an on off clutch.

I would go stage 3. I was in your shoes as well. Infact i still havent made it to the track yet but plan on it in the future. Thats what you should be lookin at. If you plan to mod the car more, or even decide to track a lil more often, go with the comfort zone knowing you spent a lil extra money on the stage 3. That way you know you can sleep at nite not worrying about being too hard on the stage 2. After its breakin, the pedal damn near feels stock! Its amazing!
