Spec 3 and now Problems Just installed a new Spec 3 clutch with new slave and throw out bearing. Before the install of the new clutch the car shifted smoothly and now it seems like a task to get the car into gear. Just feel like a thud when your putting the car in gear. You especially notice this in reverse. It seems to be even tougher when the car is in high rpm's. What could be the cause? More bleeding needed?
You probably need to bleed it some more. I'm running the same clutch and mine is smooth. Best thing that worked for me was to bleed it, drive it, bleed it, drive it. Didn't need any more after that.
Old school way. I usually have them pump it up about 30 times then hold cause it seems to work better than 10. Builds alot more pressure and really pushes alot of air and fluid out that way. Usually takes me about 3 cracks of the bleeder and she's good til I do my regular maintenance on it.
While driving the car, push your clutch in half ways and rev your engine, once you do this, if the pressure plate is bad/problem it will suck the pedal away from your foot literally, suck the pedal down to the floor. This was the problem on his car. After arguing with spec and them not wanting to refund him for the spec 2 and spec 3, he decided to go with a different clutch. Don't get me wrong, spec does make great clutches, but maybe it was just a bad batch. Hope this helps..
