Re: Still want a SPEC???
I've had two Mcleod single disc clutch's, they both lasted around 8 months on a bolt on car, mainly driven on the highway. Both had springs on the disc break. Oddly I replaced the second one with a $200 O'reillys clutch over a year ago with no issues so far..

I guess sometimes you luck out, and other times you dont. I had my clutch on for over a year now, quite a few drag strip passes, and driven aggressivly on the street. My car is bolt ons with cam, and all strip runs were made with DRs or ET streets. By the way, its only a spec stage 2!

Re: Still want a SPEC???
Thats what it seems like, just that you hear more Spec complaints cuz when it comes to single disk clutches, I think most of the people use Spec clutches, hence when a clutch breaks, chances are it was a Spec, but it appears that when others use other brands they have failures too when it comes to single disk performance clutches, except there isn't many people using other brands so the complaints are not on such a massive scale.

Spec will rebuild your clutch also.. Just an FYI for those "out of the know"

Re: Still want a SPEC???
i had a friend with an 03 cobra that had a SPEC stage 3. he shredded it...litterally, it was dust in the bottom of his bellhousing. he had the kevlar clutch series i think. i thought it was funny, but he didnt like it much.
