Some of our customers where experiencing a squeal when engaging the clutch while taking off from a stop. This was due to them overly slipping the clutch and not adjusting their driving style to compensate for the 6 puck design. We changed the formulation to alleviate it, but is has to be accompained by a slight change in driving habits.

That's good to know Matt, probably would have made my decision between the Stage 2 and 3 a little harder had I not made an official decision on the 2 yet.
Excited to get mine Friday!

Got my clutch in today. I freaked at first because it looks just like a Stage 1 disc. So I called them up, and they said they redesigned the Stage 2 to be 100% full face disc for more driveability, and added an extra 25ftlb torque rating to a total of 550ftlb torque. Nice. Will be a nice durable, strong, yet OEM like smooth clutch! Thumbs up Monster.

I just got everything installed today. I just have one issue I made a thread on.. Sitting at idle, it's hard to get into almost every gear except 1st and 4th. 1st to 2nd shift makes it go to 4th.. Reverse is HARD, but doable. But driving the car, it gets into every gear smooth. With the car off, it gets in smooth. I bled the hell out of the clutch, and have tried adjusting the Tick MC out a bit, but I'm afraid to go too far. I went as far out as slightly above the brake pedal, and still no luck. Otherwise the new stage 2 ROCKS. With only like 5 miles on it, it is butter smooth. Can't wait to see a full 500 mile breakin. Stock driveability, high power grab. YES PLEASE.

Get it broken in all the way? how does it feel?
Matt, are these really expected to last that long? Searching has led me to this clutch for "spirited" daily driving with the track once or twice a year. car is mostly stock LT's soon
