I had an issue with my previous clutch so I put my oem clutch and flywheel in with new slave, tick master since i need the car for work and school. With the preious clutch the pedal feel was always the same. With the oem one its light as a feather which is the way it was with the stock hydraulics. When im at the track 1-2 its light. 2-3 its light. Then going for 4th the pedal gets really stiff but it allows me to shift still unlike the oem hydraulic where it just locks me out. What causes this to happen?

So my new monster stage 2 clutch disintegrated on saturday. Clutch material desided it didnt want to stay connected to the disk with my almighty 330wtq. So i put my oem clutch and flywheel back in with new slave, tick master since i need the car for work and school. With the monster the pedal feel was always the same. With the oem one its light as a feather which is the way it was with the stock hydraulics. When im at the track 1-2 its light. 2-3 its light. Then going for 4th the pedal gets really stiff but it allows me to shift still unlike the oem hydraulic where it just locks me out. What causes this to happen?

I had 630 miles on it. Did the recommended 500 miles of break in before even trying to launch or shift fast. Gonna send it in so they can take a look at it

I just ordered a Monster level 1 and now I'm worried as hell about having the same issue. My crap spec clutch didn't last 3500 miles, would suck to have the Monster also die after such a short time.

Honestly I wouldn't be worried I probably just got that .01% chance of a defective part, but that is just my luck. Their clutches have been tried and proven to work very well.
