Okay.....darnit!!! finished putting my tranny back together! After my Z plate broke in half.... !!!


rebuilding the tranny was fun! and would had only cost me 40bucks at most...if I had a garage and didn't have to pay a shop 75bucks every 2 days to store my car

So now that the tranny is back in what was the problem...

Well I had a hard time going into reverse...problem was the connector pin broke a connector...so the R.Solinoid isn't getting power....still sh*tty...off to radio shack I go.

next issue....the SPEC fantasticly great Clutch CLUTCH!!!!

Damn pedal is still soft....and this time to accomodate that still soft feeling...my CLutch pedal shakes...

Pointed it down to these items...

A. Clutch fork
B. T/O Bearing
C. Pressure Plate
D. SPEC
E. All of the Above....

Answer = E!

Can't believe this GREAT! piece of junk clutch could cause all these problems WTF! 470 bucks for this GREAT! crap... I'll be contacting SPEC to see if I can give them back this junk and get a Stage 3...even though the 2 never worked really...I still see flaws in it's design.

SPEC=BEST clutches ever....

THank you spec for helping me break my tranny and selling me this junk! I loved every moment of it!

My AUtozone clutch lasted longer than the 500miles this clutch did! But I enjoyed Pullying my tranny again and spending money I ever so needed. Thanks guys!

I salute you! Your Clutches are awsome!

 

As with any product, someone always has a bad experience. My spec 4 works perfect and have never had any problem. 6,500rpm clutch dumps at the track and still going.

 

yeah, I'm aware of that..it just seems that with SPEC anything below a Stage 3 is junk

 

I have probably about 6-7K miles on my spec stage 2 without any of the issues that you noted. It drives a lot like the stock clutch but when shifting at 6200rpm it will chirp my nitto dr.

Guess It's just my bad luck...

i have the spec stock replacement clutch. i like spec . they are like 30 mins. away from me and when i ordered it the guy met me out of his way to deliver it to me. i will definately use them again.

 

LOL's

What is it with this site...how come when ever someone says a product is good everyone bashes it....

but when someone says a product is bad...every starts loving it...


I'm going to change the name original post around..let's see what happens....


In the meantime how do a Iget a hold of S.P.E.C. Cluches?

My buddy has the Spec 2 in his car and loves it.

Im running the LT4 pressure plate and the Mcleod single disc clutch and it works great. Supposed to be for 400-450hp.

 

Thank you Sir!


...just wondering how great is SPEC's customer service when you have a problem with thier product?

I only get through them through Thunder Racing....

BTW if anyone was wondering about SPEC's billet flywheels that are supposed to be 3-4lbs lighter than stock....it's a myth....it's actually heavier...mainly do to it's bulk...it has allot more mass than the stock flywheel for some reason... ANother 239 wasted....I swear I could of had my AFR's and 1.6's long ago!

 

ask them to meet you halfway like i did. jk. sorry about the long distance i could not find the toll free number.let us know how it goes.

 

This really sucks becasue the clutch is only 6 months old....and I rarely drive my car...only driven it 500-600 miles in those 6 months...

 

How well of a break in period did you do? A lot of shifts and no heavy acceleration/hard shifts for the first 400-500 miles like recommended?

I did the traditional break in setup....but my clutch and all looked just like the one in "Bfrankers" page.... Flywheel...pressure plate and all...

 

The springs that they use in their clutches are tiny which is why they are prone to breaking even under daily driving conditions. I never raced my Spec stage 3 clutch (new design) and went through 2 in 10 months, with the first one destroying my tranny in the process. Did a little research on their clutches and found out some interesting info from a local clutch shop/builder. First of all, the springs are the same ones used in their 4-cyl clutches, just look at their springs compared to stock or any other aftermarket clutch. They are half the coil diameter, spring diameter and length as the stock ones. The clutch builder I talked to even compared a Spec Stage 3 4-cyl Toyota clutch to the Stage 3 LT1, the whole center section was the same part, only the actual disk and pads were larger on the LT1. Their parts are made in China and why do you think they only carry a 4 month warranty? I called Spec again after blowing the 2nd clutch out and having tranny rebuilt, new poly mounts, Pro 5.0 all installed when the 2nd one went in, their response was this. It has to be something wrong with your mounts, input shaft, or transmission, because it cant be our clutch. Once I informed them that EVERYTHING had been replaced, they said, well something is wrong, our clutches just dont blow out like that, and refused to refund me any of the cost of the 2nd clutch back if returned, but they said they would pro-rate one if I bought another. The only Spec I would ever get is a Stage 4 if I really needed it simply because it is unsprung, or their C4 disks, as all their C4 disks, Stage 2 and above are unsprung. Their springs are worthless. That is all.
