I read your other posts and it looks like either the clutch is waaaaaay out of balance or the flywheel machined wrong sucks either way, probably not the way anyone should spend thier hoidays

dud e hang in there the year's allmost done. I just got mine back today and so far so good. no unusual vibration or anything. other than a few noticible differences it feels no diferent than the stock clutch it replaced. which is good and exactly what I intended, woo hoo! so SPEC stage 2 seems to just about right for a reasonably stock motor (no internal mods at east) I was trying not to over clutch the car as it's so easy to do now days. the 2 big differences I felt was the lighter pedal effort and the lowerd shifting effort. there is a slight amount of chatter on the initial engagement but nothing to write home about and mostly due to the lightend flywheel. other than a small squeak on the clutch pedal to master cylinder interface(little bit of grease will fix this) only about 50 miles at this point but so far so good

hmm, my clutch pedal is a **** now, crazy pressure. i just had knee surgery 2 months ago so its a little bit of a struggle in stop and go traffic. my motors pretty stock too so my clutch is a little overkill, buy hey, now i have to mod the rest of the car to keep up with the clutch haha

well one Autox and 350 miles later the clutch seems to be holding up.apparently the Kevlar disc needs to seat and that takes a bit of time to happen. thus being that it is an Autox car it's verry difficult to get any miles on the car but so far the SPEC stage 2 clutch performed well. the remote bleeder is a wonderful addition as we were able to bleed the clutch in nothing flat without even jacking up the car!

Local dealership don't know what they are talking about.
ALL currently available (maybe some wierd situations like REALLY old stock at a local dealer exception) slaves AND masters are the 01/02 style. Does NOT matter what PN you order, they ALL are the same parts now. According to DAl, who ought to know... I think he sells about half of ALL Fbody factory clutch parts in the country.
