Ok, just knowing that the spec clutches weren't any good wasn't good enough for me. Soooo, I took the liberty of calling them directly today and a gentleman by the name of Matt informed me that the reason for the constant failure is that the customers are always mating their product with a stock/refinished factory flywheel. He stated that they needed to be combined with either their flywheel, or the fidanza equivilant. Since the clutch design is a self adjusting one, it does not catch properly and release because of something with the material of the factory design. I compared this information to that I have gained from this awesome forum about the Exedy hyper one. It seems that the Exedy clutch is engineered to work in conjunction with its corresponding unit. Supposedly, when the Spec units are combined with each other they are supposed to be unbeatable. I am not sure if this is old news to some, but I decided to try it anyways. I will be purchasing their stage 3+ clutch and flywheel and will report on my findings.

Thank you for taking the time to read my article.

 

hiping for the best bro

 

Hows it work?

 

i know a few ppl who ran the spec3+ and a fidanza and they both could not fast shift in to second

 

The SPEC Stage 3+ is flat out an AWESOME clutch for the money, and even better when combined with the SPEC Aluminum light weight flywheel.

Never heard of any locals having shifting issues... It is smooth, I have driven it before and liked it a lot.

 

i have a spec stage2 with fidanza flywheel and i dont have any problems at all

 

Has it ever slipped?

 

Mines never slipped...the only slip i got before was from the belt. but thats been taken care of. But the car grabs every gear

 

yep my spec never slips, doesnt like to be ridden to much at high rpms though, its either in or out, no granny shiftin
