in theory if a clutch is broken in than it should work as advertised. however i broke in my spec 3 for 550miles only to have it weld itself to the flywheel 8 months later.
i broke in my Text for 600 miles before doin anykind of hard driving and thus far i have 4 times the amount of runs i had on my spec and have no issues.
a clutch is alot like a vehicle...sometimes you get unlucky and get a lemon...other times its perfect...nothing you can do about it.

Most of the time I believe its due to not following break-in procedures but then you get people who follow it word for word and still have problems, thats why I went Textralia but there are those who swear by Specs. I waited for 400 miles before putting mine through a work out and its been perfect so far. Pro'lly has 7k on it by now.

The tex said about 400 miles I think where the spec says 700 miles, again I think. Sorry your having trouble with yours, mines been great.
