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.

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, 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!

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?
