I bought a SPEC stage 1 clutch for my 97 T56. In 20,000 Miles the clutch is gone. I even snapped a clutch fork right in half when she went. Any ideas why she went out so quick? Also what would be a better replacment? I bought an AC Delco to get by.

 

sounds like you been beating on it!!

Anyways, you'll hear repsonses from some Spec owners who also got low mileage out of them. Usually the springs on the clutch disc break.....thats why i went with the SLP clutch cause i wanted some mileage out of it..

 

Spec sucks. I hate them. My clutch went out at 15k, and I dont want another spec clutch. But I dont have $1000 for a street twin, so Ill probably have to go with the offer they gave me (stage 4 for 1/2 price).

 

clutchnet.com has a nice selection of clutches with a pretty good lt1 rep. stay away from kevlar and you'll be alrigh IMO

 

ah, I see your problem..it's a spec. Mine actually took a dump tonight...started slipping real bad and had to drive it home nice and easy and park it

 

Would be curious to know why all of you had some many issues. I have currently 60,000 on my stage 2 without any issues. I plan to purcahse another in the next week or so becasue it is now going bad.

one thing that it may actually be is the master/slave cylinders going bad. That may actually be my current problem.
