Yes replace the slave cylinder, It be wise if you can buy the speed bleeder. Also I have a monster 11 inch clutch and has held up great have about 50 track passes at 6k launches and street use and been doing fine.

I have a Monster Stage 3. It really takes a pounding, even with the 315's. Awesome clutch.

Im running a Stage 2 (lightweight flywheel) and a Tick Master, and so far, so good.

Which way are you bleeding it? through the bleeder, or with a vacuum?

Glad to hear everyone's success with the stage 3. I just ordered mine along with a tick master cylinder. I am extremely pissed that my spec 3+ is failing after 15k miles, no track passes and maybe a dozen street races. I guess I was warned those are iffy with a lot of street use but that one was way overkill for my old power. It doesn't hold the new power I make now after dyno tuning and one night of playing with launching it hard on the street. My old spec 2+ years was so awesome and i pray this monster holds up and doesn't let me down cuz I need to start hauling *** again.

My stage III chatters so bad I can no longer DD my car, I was told to beat on it.
3 track visits launching on slicks and no changes. Sure it takes the abuse at the track but I like to DD my car and I can't do that anymore. So I'm trying to figure out what to replace it with.

How do you take off in the car say like from a stop light? I have the 11 inch race clutch and it will chatter a tad. But only if I engage the clutch differently than I should. I know the way to make it not chatter and a way to make it chatter. And takes a beating
