After reading a 12+ page clutch thread here, I called SPEC and they advised that a Stage 3+ disk will not fit the standard PP (my Valeo, or a basic stock PP). He said they are thicker. Several members here claim that disk can be mixed with a stock or Autozone OEM PP for great results. Upselling by the tech?

Can anybody verify or refute this?? Prev. posting states the thickness of the SPEC 3+ disk @ .238" while the stocker is .218".

Actually the Veleo I have could use a cleanup/resurfacing, so any minimal loss in thickness (clutch shop estimated .020 off) there could open it up perfectly for the "thicker" 3+ in theory...

fyi, I'm not looking to hit more than 450 tq and want the smooth street feel & engagement. Any & all input appreciated. Thanks.

 

Anything? I'd like to order up the SPEC 3+ disk soon, but could use some affirmation that it will work with the resurfaced Valero.

Cheapest place to get one?

 

Well any company is likely not going to agree with you mixing their parts with 'stock' parts- of course they are going to try to get you to buy all their parts.

Sounds like you have it figured out as to what you need to do- I haven't done it myself, but if many people have verified it works with great results, not sure what more you need?
