I just put a Stage 2 in my car last Saturday (Oct. 2nd) and so far, so good. It has a very soft pedal, hardly any chatter and it still grabs very well. I've heard nothing but awesome things about the clutched and from my personal experiences, Jason is a very honest guy. He even answered a weird question I had about the clutch install, after I had started putting it in myself.
My only complaint (and this is EXTREMELY opinion based) the clutch pedal is too soft for MY PERSONAL LIKING. It's not a bad thing at all, but I'm just used to having a stiff pedal. Altho, I have noticed that my leg doesn't burn in traffic anymore lol.

Jason seems like a very cool guy, I was on the phone with him for 1/2 an hour asking questions. Very helpful he is helping me find a 6 speed to build. How many miles do you guys have on your clutches? Do they seem to get less chatter when they are broke in? How much chatter are we talking?

I have a stage 3 and I have zero chatter! I also have lots of buddies with the stage 3 and they are all pushing upwards of 600 plus hp. These are also daily driver cars. The billet flywheel he has is awesome!, revs up alot quicker and he also has remote bleeders to make things easier. All in all, best clutch I have had! As for the stage 2... I know a couple of vette owners that are running them and they can handle 600 hp. These have a soft pedal feel because it is a dual friction clutch and the stage 3 is a 6 puck designed for high hp cars.

Remote bleeders? Interesting... I might want one of those. I'm having trouble getting mine all the way bled. Even tho I haven't tried very hard...
Should I suction bleed or pressure bleed my slave? I just did a 2 minute gravity bleed on it and I'm pretty sure there is an air bubble still...

I pressure bleed, but I also angle the car up so that it will help it out. since the trans is already in your car it will be very difficult to install the remote bleeder. Should be done before installing the trans. I am sure jason can pull the trans back and install it for you pretty quick.

Daily driven Stage 3 here. Its like an on/off switch, just gotta get used to it. It holds what has been thrown at it and is still tame enough for daily driving.

Is this the new name for the clutch from Jason at TDP? If so, that thing is awesome! I sprayed that thing with nitrous for 2 years and it was begging for more. Heck it seemed like it was just getting to the break in stage when I sold the vette. Highly recommend!

TDP is the only place I will get transmission work done from now on. I have the Stage 3 in my Trans Am, and was running the Stage 2 In my C6. Diamond Clutches are badass, cant beat them for the price.
