hold on!

OK so i installed the Spec3+ clutch and lightweight flywheel yesterday. its starting to break in and i must say,... Holly ****. I really like it. i also installed the new tranny mounts, good ****. the car launches great... when i do it right anyway. It is alot harder to launch just cause im scared ill break an axle and its way easy to spin the tires now. but im sure ill get much better at it. one thing i noticed is the car feels more like a "muscle car" now. i dont know if its the flywheel or the trany mounts. i can just feel the power even at idle. i can feel it through the shifter and even in the steering wheel. its like a hart beat. lol must say i give this mod a 10 out of 10.

Tranny mounts make it feel like ****. Vibrations out the *******. You'll be tired of it in no time.

I have the transmission mount inserts, the one Turbotech sells, after less than a month the vib are pretty much gone. I'm fussy about rattles and **** so they aren't as bad people say they are.

I agree, the clutch is breaking in nice. the vibrations are only in first gear.. the response is great.

I installed just the front insert on my car and I was shocked with how much vibration there was NOT...all the hype about them and my sub made more vibration. And its worn down since then too, I only feel it when the A/C is on.

I've been considering putting the rear mount in but not sure of how much of a diff. it'll make as my wheel hop is already gone.

I got Damiens front ZZP tranny mount, and she did vibrate quite a bit when we first put it on, which I didn't mind too much, but the vibrations are most def just about gone now. I do need another mount or two though, either the rear tranny or the top motor mount.

Glad to hear your happy with your clutch. I will need one soon, and am still on the fence as to what I am going with, maybe Excedy
