Clutch help please Hello, i was hoping to get a little guidance from guys that have gone through a few different brands of clutches. First off let me explain my issue. I'll start off by letting you know my car is 99% steet, i may hit the track once or twice a year and only put about 2000 miles on it a year. The first clutch i had in was a SPEC stage 3, at the time i was putting down 440 to the wheels. This clutch lasted about 4 years (8000 miles) then started slipping, which i was told was do to steet driving. I then went to a Stage 3.5 Monster clutch which was more steetable. I also added a 150 shot of nitrous about a year ago. Well about 3 weeks ago i was driving home and went to shift into second gear and it wouldnt go into gear, not any gear. come to find out my clutch wasnt disengaging. I tried upgrading to a tick M/C but that didnt fix it, so i'm guessing the clutch will need replaced. This clutch lasted 3 years (about 6000 miles). So my question is what would be a good clutch that can put up with 600rwhp that is mainly steet driven that i wont have to replace ever couple of years, and should i maybe go with a twin disk.

You may be seeing a slave related issue too, it would be worth checking this before assuming that the clutch needs to be replaced. As for a drivable and durable option, I would suggest the SPEC Stage 3+. It will offer higher capacity and better drivability than the Stage 3 you originally had and, though usage affects clutch wear, I have folks with tremendous amounts of daily usage mileage on these units!
