I've had a stage 2 results were never worked right... chattered... never gripped right, and as a result I broke my T-56.... and - $800.00 out my pockets!!!

Now I've had a stage 3.... Disengages when it wants too... Shifter is hard to move at times... Chattery...and feels like it's slipping... and is making Strange noises now.... once again... the reason my car is acting up and vibrating like crazy... $- 700.00

addition charges -$100.00


I've had it with SPEC!!! They Blow.... Centerforce.. Mcleod here I come... so far $1,600 wasted on fooling around with SPEC! should of did it right the first time!!!

I'm tired of pulling my Tranny!!!!!!! This will make the 6th time... since my first SPEC install.... Screw you SPEC!!!

I'll also comment that the first clutch they sent me was defective... and they agreed...!!!



But don't take my word for it... by yourself a SPEC clutch and join in on the rest of us who spent more time a fixin than a rippin down the track.

Sorry about my breif rant... but for more info feel free to use the search option of this site by typing in "SPEC" and finding the many post on these horrible Clutches!!!

 

i ran a stage 2 for 3k, did just fine, chattered first 500 miles during break in, then worked great...then i replaced my motor, and upgraded to a stage 3, when my rear main leaked on it, they replaced it for free...and its been good ever since...only 4k on it, but running great, and ive pounded it pretty good on 315 drag radials ...JMO, i like em

 

does it make it when you disengage and hold it put the stage3 in last 2 weeks and it turned out the pilot bearing blew up it makes a rubbing noise its the pilotb bearing...

 

I've looked at the SPEC ever wixh way up and down, and they gave me nothing but problems... I've gone so afar as replacign the fork, Hydraulics, lflywheel... everything... just throwing money into these defective clutches... Just never seem to work right... I got so frustraited that I paid a shoppe to install the stage 3... and it's still a pain in the ***...

 

we have a drivetrain forum

 

WHy am i not surprised? Any more spec bandwagonneer's care to defend this p.o.s clutch?

 

yea that too..

 

Don't know, I've got about 40 passes down the track on DR's and over 13,000 miles on mine. Works just fine.

 

I dunno....got 2k on mine so far with some decent abuse and its just fine....so i dunno, maybe im just lucky

 

Funny... last time when I was praising SPEC everyone who posted was downing the clutch... now I"m downing SPEc... after having problems with 2 of thier clutches... and seems most people are defending them... in my opinion SPEC is a hit or miss manufacturer... you never know what your getting in the box... it may or it may not work... but one thing I can tell you is that 6K miles later.... this clutch blows... and it sucked every step of the way....

 

I have a Stage3 and I love it! 15K miles in traffic jams, and some track passes with ET Streets! Grabs hard, no chatter! Sorry you're having bad luck with yours.

 

I've had my stage 3 in for about 2 years now and have hit on it with power from nitrous, supercharger, cam, gears etc. Drove through miles of stop and go traffic, drove across the country. Not a single problem.

Sorry to hear about yours however.

 

I've got a SPEC stage 4 in my car and I love it. It's exactly what I wanted in a clutch. I pulled my Centerforce out to put this one in so if you are considering Centerforce and are running a modified setup you might want to reconsider.

 

heatmaker.. You are correct on the hit or miss.. 3 of mine in a row we're all misses .. But if it was installer error thats fine.. My Street Twin work's just fine

 

... Great, I'm in the middle of trying to figure out what is wrong with my drivetrain. I just finished installing my SPEC Stage 2 it there is a very harsh, clunky engadgement and the clutch peddle vibrates. I thought I made an install error (have never done this before).. but now I have to wonder... is this the clutch??

I still have my old clutch (which worked fine, except it slipped) but if it comes to it... and maybe this is stupid, but could I bolt back on my old clutch and see if it works fine? That way I KNOW I'm not making an installation error, and it's the SPEC clutch.

What a day
