Spec 3 = Bad MF'er Just installed a Spec in the car. Kick *** clutch, almost like stock driveability. I've got 25 miles on it and ZERO chatter. It's definately an on/off setup, but easy to drive as stock....
If anybody remembers about 3 yrs ago on LS1.com I used to bash the HELL outta Spec. I had one of their first clutch designs explode in my car after 1500 miles, killing my t-56 in the process. The old disk was a POS using rivets to hold the center section together, which sheered off causing
.......We'll see how this one treats me. So far, so good....

well i like the way my clutch grabbs so far.. too bad i put 1000 miles on it (lots of stop and go conditions) and it still vibrates like hell sometimes... I sure hope this vibration goes away soon..!
the clutch i have is the new hybird spec 3 by the way. No "I" piece on mine though.

The stage 3I has the drivability of the stage 3 but with the holding power of the stage 5 (800+ RWTQ) I believe the I stands for Iron disk.

SPEC 3 and stock flywheel here...
I think I'm starting to have neck problems this thing grabs so hard
I have about 400 miles on it now. I'm totally happy with my purchase
