It has been almost 3 weeks, but my FX300 is in and the car is right. There have been 6 or 8 of us out here that have been struggling and Clutchmasters has been absolutely fantastic working with us through it all. They have been yelled at, sworn at and mistreated in other ways, and they kept a prefessional demeanor through it all. They stepped up to the plate (no pun intended) for things that were consequental to the clutch failures. For the 6 or 8 of us, some of which are still finishing their jobs, it has been frustrating at times to say the least. That is the price we pay at times for being on the leading edge. Now guys, lets make sure that they get broken in properly so that we don't have to do them again. If any of you ever make it to the detroit area, look me up. And if I find my way to Pittsburgh, or Maryland or South Carolina, I hope to meet some of you.

Be cool and buzz me if I can be of assistance.

Just wanted to say congrats and a big thank you to you and everyone else who has gone through hell so that the rest of us don't have to when it comes to clutch time.

 

overall, how is the engagement?

 

A bit early to say for sure, but with 5 miles on it, I would say that the engagement is pretty quick once you get first roll. Pedal is still a little low to the floor, but I still have some air. It will finish self bleeding over the next day or so or if I get motivated, I will vacuum bleed it again.

 

i didnt vacuum bleed mine and it is engaging at the same place as a stock clutch near the top.

soccer try this...
engage first
clutch to the floor
rev to redline (what is ur redline btw?)
Does the car creep forward at all...mine still does.
Means it is not completely disengaging at high rpms

I have the stage 2, which means that my redline is 7,000 rpm, but as you free rev that high, it is possible to get some grab. If that is the biggest issue, I would not fret it.

i cant speed shift the 1-2 like i could stock...thats for sure

Dan

Spec told us to run this test when we were working with robs car to check for disengagement
either way if it does that free reving it means its not completely disengaged at that rpm

 

Great news Soccer! Glad to hear you got all the problems sussed out. Keep your fingers crossed for me though as I start the final install this evening!

 

my clutch is great!!! 200 miles on it so far and as the more miles i put on it, the better it grabs and the smoother it becomes. IM IN LOVE!!!!!!!! Big ups to CM for there help and support.. and of course all the .net guys!!!
