I am sure he will get them to you soon and wants to get this resolved, the car has been there for three weeks and it's been a month with no car for me. I am worried most this may have affected the flywheel as well? I'm just stuck in the middle here.
I purchased a brand new GM slave/ throw out setup and pilot bearing and had him put those in with the new pp

Well this issue has basically came to a hault and still remains unresolved and me with no working vehicle.
I ended up buying a new disk from Monster and getting reimbursed for the disk which ended up being determined as fault.
When this new disk and the kit was reinstalled I replaced as many things as possible, complete master, slave, throwout bearing, pilot bearing. This time after about 200 miles I got the same problem. I couldnt even fathom this was happening. All the work has been done from soup to nuts on this car at Slowhawk Performance.
After finally getting the clutch removed I sent the entire kit back to Monster for testing. I was told it was operating properly and but unexplained what keeps happening to the disk in short time. I was told that both times the clutch must have been installed wrong.
Without the vehicle at SNL it will be unable to be determined. This is just a **** show...

Is there anyway you might need a shim for the slave or an adjustable m/c to set up the clutch 100%. Hope you figure it out man it sucks not having ur car.
I purchased the whole kit from monster with stg 3, tick m/c , wish I got the lightweight flywheel but oh well , new slave speed blender etc. At first I didny set up the master correctly but I figured it out and wow this thing performs. I can hot lap the **** out of it , PowerShift the bageezez out of it without an issue, which is exactly what I wanted, and no pedal sticking to the floor! Only thing is if you slip it does make noise, but u get on it beat on it it shuts up. And thanks to my clutch.. I broke a 10bolt LOL! I've recommended many cause of my happiness.
THANKS MONSTER!

Just to update on this. After no resolution I cut my losses and went with a different clutch company. I have not had one issue with it after a couple months and about 1500miles.

LOVE my Monster stage 2.
To the poster that hates his stage 3, ANYONE who puts a "puck style" clutch in anything do your research and EXPECT it to act like a racing clutch with an on/off switch, chatter and be loud as that IS the nature of that clutch....it's made to be in a race environment not a street environment.
A monster 2 will handle just about any "normal" head/cam LS.

Steve just wanted to tell you that your customer service looks great. I just went through hell w/ SPEC over 2 clutches that have failed at half their power levels. Will not do anything about it because warranty was only 120 days. Have installed your Monster clutches on customer carry ins and have had no issues. Had SPEC taken care of me like you do on yours they would have had many more clutches sold. They have lost me as a customer,period. Email being sent for race truck that makes 500hp N/A that killed a SPEC 3+/4 and hasn't been sprayed yet. Thx.
