Spec stage 3+. Little grippy and hard to drive for the first 200 miles, but drives real well now with 800 miles. No chatter. I have noticed that it doesn't start to grab until the clutch pedal is almost all the way out but have had other spec owners tell me this is normal.

I have 130 miles on mine so far and have noticed the same exact thing. My Spec 3 was easier to drive but couldnt handle the power I was thowing at it on the spray...other than that my last 2 spec stage 3s were awesome.

However, if I were in the market for a non-OEM clutch, something we don't offer, I would be looking into McLeod. Red Roberts founded Weber Clutch back in the 60's, I believe, and has since added/created McLeod Clutch. He is a recent inductee into the Automotive Industry Hall of Fame, along with distinguished people like Henry Ford, Lee Hunter, Mr. Iacoca, and a bunch of other pioneers in our industry. Red Roberts, well into his Grey Haired years, still mans the tech line at McLeod/Weber Performance. Stock clutches....give me a shout. Performance clutches? Call Red Roberts at McLeod/Weber Performance. Just my 2 cents.


excellent statement!
