Default Do you guys have this problem?

I installed a spec 3+ clutch and fidanza aluminum flywheel a few months ago. I have noticed I cannot put it in sixth gear unless I am cruising around 70mph or the car starts to "hop". I have a feeling this is due to the light weight of the flywheel. Anyone else notice this?

when you have after market cam shaft, it will do that when rpm not high enough, i bet it will do the same if you leave in 5th or 4th with rpm less than 1500

my spec 3+ is messing up for me too in 6th gear. Just started this morning. I am so pissed off. I called spec they said it was the tranny, the tranny shop said it was definatly the clutch. Doesn't look good.

Its not the cam, it never did it until the flywheel/clutch install.

Mine didnt come on all of a sudden, it happened ever since the install. Did you put a light weight flywheel in with your clutch?

Are you saying your flywheel makes it do that or what?

No, mine is from my cam... I have a billet steel flywheel, so it could be a combo of the two.
