I got mine sitting here in the floor. Car should be back together next weekend. I opted for the billet flywheel. I'll post feedback after few miles.

Why won't the eight people who have voted they don't like the tex clutch explain their problems in this thread? So far, mine has been great, but I would like to know what problems people are having.

ive got about 2000 miles on mine. chattered ALOT the first 300 miles or so, then it smoothed out. i have just a little chatter now if i dont give it enough gas from a stop. im happy with it so far. thought id add that the pedal engagement is just off the floor as others have said, and i cant shift to 3rd as smoothly when racing. my worn stock clutch was EASY to hit 3rd with out missing a beat. the low engagement cost me a race the other night since i have to be more careful when shifting to 3rd. i think i will be going back to an auto soon.

No need to blame the clutch for a setup problem...

Took about 800 miles to break-in. A little chatter from a stop like mentioned above. Nothing I didnt expect.

I put mine in a few days ago. When I first moved the car it chattered ALOT. Since then I've blead the living hell out of it and its gotten MUCH MUCH Better. So far there are not enough miles on the clutch to form an opinion. The pedal pressure is slight heavier than stock and it is a slippable clutch not an on or off switch.

If anyone out there has one and its chattering BLEAD IT, Then blead it again, then blead it again.

Err...an adjustable master cylinder would likely take care of that, and it's a good sight cheaper (and more fun) than an auto swap...

Just got mine installed today, feels really good. Get shudder, but after 50 miles it has already gotten eaiser to drive. I really like it, can tell the difference between the stock LS6 setup and the new OZ700.

Mine is still doing great. I did some 0-90 runs today and still chirped 1-2 and 2-3. I am seeing about a discount on the billet flywheel for those of us that paid the $1k+ price and got the OEM flywheel.

Has anyone of you dumped the clutch at or above 4000 rpm with et steets or better? I need a clutch that will simply hold that. My Exedy didn't even make it one pass, now my 600 mile clutch is heading back to them for an exchange.

Are you talking about the lazer ingraved flywheel that just recently came out, and why would put the stock one back on. Mine was 7 pounds heavier than my new flywheel from Pete, but the pressure plate was heavier only gaining a 3 pound reduction in total.

Well I am happy with my Tex Clutch. So far I have sprayed 630rwhp/700rwtq thru it and it feels great. If I have time I will hit it with over 700rwhp this coming week.

Mine, I'd have to say has been good! The reason I hesitate to say it is because my car is mostly stock! The pedal feels like my stock clutch, I've got some chatter depending on how I try to leave, sometimes I think I have a lazy gasfoot, I think leaving off idle is the best way to avoid the slight chatter. I'll try bleeding it, sometimes I get grinding from trans when shifting gears low speed, maybe due to low pedal engagement? So far so good, got about 700 miles, good product!

If you have low pedal engagement, it needs to be bled more.

Anyone else having trouble with the Mityvac? Mine keeps sucking air out of the system, but the bubbles are HUGE. I think the air is coming in through the master cylinder seals. It just keeps coming up when i pump the pedal. Anyone have any thoughts? Is a bench bleed needed?
