I installed this SPEC Stage 3 and SLP PP back in March 2004....

After a few months of Everyday driving... "NO harsh CLUTCH DROPS" or "Extreme burnouts" just normal wear and tear... the end product is in these pictures...

Unfreaking believable... this is my 2nd and last SPEC clutch... First one removed for problems disengaging... this one removed for the obvious... what a POS and a waste of cash.... Here are some photos for the believers that swear by these clutches.... don'
t take my word for it... though... feel free to try a POS SPEC clutch today... matter of fact I'll givey ou mine to throw in... I'm sure you can get some great passes out of it...



SPEC STAGE 3

 

My 2nd SPEC3 has just started to slip some after 18 months. The first one I put in blew up and was the OLD design, which SPEC replaced. I'll be looking for a non SPEC after this one comes out.

 

I've had mine in for a year, and it still works like a champ.

 

What would be a better clutch to use instead of a SPEC?

 

are the Centerforce Dual Friction clutches any good at all? What's their torque/power rating?

 

That really sucks. Thats the reason why I decided to get the stage 4 disc. Solid hub design, hardly any chatter, feels very smooth and holding up great so far for me. Best of all no little '4 cylinder' springs to break. This info really belongs in the drivetrain section.

 

I (and others) keep posting the following advice. Get a Street Twin, it is far and away the best clutch available for a 4th gen.

The McLeod Single Disc is always a nice choice, but as said before, the Street Twin is hands down the best. Just make sure you have the driveline to back it up.

 

what kind of driveline do you need for the street twin? sorry for too many questions but I am new to having a manual that has power potential.

 

12 bolt or 9"

 

Who makes the street twin?

A freind of mine just asked me what clutch was best for the LT1s , me having and auto had no idea.

Thanks Pasky.

 

ditto.........if you do any sort of search before buying, you will find tons of threads about how the spec stage 3 is weak because of the springs, and everyone who has failures is almost always because of that.

the stage4 doesnt have springs, and people still say it has a similar pedal engagement, so thats what i ordered.

granted, i would rather have the street twin like rskrause said..........but DOUBLE the price of the stage 4 is hard to swallow.

 

yea, weird, i beat the **** out of mine and it is still holding great.
