Smile Monster Stage 2 Installed

Finally got around to ordering a Monster Stage 2 clutch/premium package last week. Got a great deal from ColoradoSPEED who also threw in a remote bleeder for free! Once shipped, it took 2 days to arrive. It was packaged very well. Install was a breeze seeing that I have the engine out of the car. I'll be sliding the engine in the next day or two. I'm excited to finally get back on the road and test out this clutch. Of course with the proper break-in procedure

For some reason my iPad will only upload 1 image at a time.

My friends got one in his 2000 z28, pretty stock but it lays 350 to the wheels, its a slightly stiffer pedal feel, but i like it. also, it takes up at the bottom, and grabs HARD. Not in a bad way though, when you feel it start to grip you know youre in business, its really satisfying haha. Im gonna get my for my daily too

I just installed this clutch a month ago in my 99, same stage II setup, got the lighter flywheel option. I had trouble with the stock master cylinder not fully disengaging the clutch, so I parked it and ordered a Tick MC. Just put that in last weekend. Drives great, no chatter, pedal feels good. I like this setup, ran the same thing in my C5Z, that clutch took nearly 40,000 miles of abuse before any issues.

Looks good. I finally got my engine back in last night. Neighbors probably hate me now hahaha

Just need to re-install the drive shaft, exhaust, bleed brakes & then ready for a drive.

Just bought my third monster clutch had stage 2 in my t/a, stage 3 in my z06, just bought a stage 4 for my new t/a. Loved every one of them, not one had an issue all on nitrous cars with tick master cylinders. They are definitely a quality product and I wont run anything else. You wont be disappointed. Keep up the good work monster.
