Stage 3 help needed I have been running a stage 2 SPEC clutch for a little over a year now and its just not working out. It chatters terribly and over the past 2-3 months its been slipping bad. I am leaning towards a monster stage 3 with a lightweight flywheel, but any other good options out there?
I am running a stg 3 with a Billet flywheel .....after 3 "other" clutch failures .
My car is 460rwh/430rwtq & sees ALOT of street time with several trips to the track > leaving on the LMTR at 7k & shifting at 6800rpm.It has a lil over 6k HARD miles on it & is still holding with no issues .
Only Problem is I had a GM Master Cyl. crack & blow my hydraulics so while fixing this I upgraded to a Tick Master & HATE it it is WAY stiffer than the GM unit & I will be going back to the Drill Mod & a GM Master.
My car is drove HARD.....& I would recomend Monster Clutches to anyone !

I do believe I will change out to a Monster stage 3 with a lightweight flywheel.

Fire, we wouldn;t just shut you down relative to your issues, though we would ask questions in an effort to assist you and lilely note that without seeing the parts for assessment that iw would be impossible to know what exactly you are experiencing. This is normal fare when it comes to determining the cause of any issue. Have you pulled the parts out of the car? If not, when you do I would be happy for you to send some pics to me for assessment. Let me know either way. Thanks,

SPEC-01 - I honestly think at this point the clutch just cant hold the power anymore. It has always chattered since I first installed it on the almost stock engine & stage 2 trans. But since the cam, heads, & intake install the clutch almost instantly slips if I am to aggressive with the throttle.

Why not go to a higher level spec? I have a stage 3 and have no problems with it. Understanding it is a high performance clutch, it's more agressive than stock, but grabs and holds every time. only time it 'chatters' is if I am trying to be gentle, sucha s reversing/parking.
A Stage 2 with consistent, unending chatter can result from issues with break-in, contamination, etc...maybe fire will send some pics my way when he gets the parts out so we can shed some light on the cause. It seems that he feels that this is a clutch issue but at this point we really don't know. That is why I have asked for more info and pictures. As for another stage that would be a great option and I would be happy to assist with that if it was what he was looking for.
If you go to a Tick M/C with a STG 3 kit the pedal pressure is ALOT more than the GM unit ,the feel is Great but for a Hydraulic Clutch setup IMO the pedal pressure is WAY to hard ,for me anyway, .....I used to run Mucie 4 speeds for 16 yrs prior to switching to a LS1 M6 setup & the pedal pressure is close to that with my old Street/Strip clutch setup.....
