spec clutch issues
i do a ton of browsing on these forums and a couple weeks ago i ran across a thread where a bunch of guys were bitching about all the aftermarket clutches available. one that caught my eye was a photo of someone's spec friction disc with a broken damper spring. what are the symptoms of a broken damper spring? my bird's been shuddering hard on normal take off for a couple months now and it started to do it pretty suddenly, not gradually getting worse. it's a spec II. i didn't install it, previous owner did, but i've put 35k miles on since i bought it so it's been in there at least that long and in houston it has endured a very rough last year and a half with the 24hr a day traffic jams. no slipping at all though when driving aggressively.

Re: spec clutch issues
The springs are there to absorb shock. The clutch will chatter unusually when one or more is broken but it may chatter if none is broken. Not usual for one to brake in a short period of time.
It will chatter worse in reverse.

Am I the only person that has ever installed a Spec clutch and had ZERO noises or problems? And I hot lapped it on a regular basis too. Mine was only a Spec 2. I like the Centerforce DF too.

I've used, over the years with motor upgrades, stock, ZO6, Centerforce, CarTech, McCleod/McCleod DD and several Specs.
Any website for this clutch?? I never heard it, but it looks sweet!

That is an awesome looking piece.
FWIW, I didn't really like my Spec Stage 3 either. My engine shop now uses RPS clutches. They can be found at CarolinaClutch.com.

I highly reccomend and stand by the Ram Power Grip HD series 100000 00000% Having had 3 Specs go down the tube.... back 2 back I'm satisfied with the Powergrip series.Very minnimum chatter if any, firm pedal engagement, good quality, and it still has springs.
