Clutch advise!

[Parrella35]

I'm going to be ordering a clutch for my 05 GT this week and doing the install myself next week. Car has 19,xxx miles, with a Vortech blower..making 395RWHP. I'm debating between the Spec stage 2 or Stage 3 and was curious of people's opinion? fit n finish? quality? Also should I do a flywheel and slave cylinder too? I've never heard a chatter or had a problem engaging / disengaging either, and i have no plans of running slicks. ANY advice is appreciated!

STAY AWAY FROM THE SPEC STAGE 2/3!! As always I recommend the McLeod RST!!

+1 on the RST. Yes on the new slave.

Thanks for the advice...too expensive for my budget though. Whats the bad about Spec? Im just curious and any other advice is appreciated!

Contact BBR about the Exedy 400 or 500. Not a bad price that he quoted me

try searching, the topic has been covered over and over again...

Spec 3+ works great!

I've had Spec 2+ at 450 rwhp and now I'm running Spec 3 at 550 rwhp. The 2+ was great and no issues. Pedal will be a little stiffer than stock but my wife drove it with no complaints. When pulling onto trailer I could easily hold the car on the ramp. Second gear burnouts and launching are easy.

Spec 3 is a different animal. It's more for road racing which is my primary use. Pedal feel is slightly stiffer than 2+ but not bad. This clutch engages very quickly and doesn't like to be ridden. It will chatter if you try to hold it. Much more difficult to launch but is suited for quicker shifting.

How is this not a tech issue?

its a discussion of what to buy, not how to install one, fix one or issues surrounding those actions.

Never thought of it that way. Thanks for the explaination.

Yeah, I'd expect to see a discussion like this in the tech section.

I've got the Spec 3+ with their billet steel flywheel and it's working great for me.

i ordered a spec 3+ for my 6 speed swap into my saleen. Thats what the saleen extremes run so I figured it has to be a good clutch.
