Clutch Slippage

[enkeivette]

So... I have a SPEC Stage 2 clutch :barf: (never buy one, chatter was ridic for the first two years) anyways, its supposed to hold 450 or 500 hp... what are the odds its slipping a bit and I cant even feel it?

I have a Spec Stage 2+ in the Cobra and it was the same way. I had it slip in third before and when it does you'll know because it smells terrible very quickly. I had a spring on the clutch disc break a while ago and didn't have the cash to buy a new clutch with pressure plate so I just bought a new clutch disc and used the Spec pressure plate. The clutch is a McCleod which they said was close to the Spec disc that was in it before. It is much smoother than the Spec disc was but I don't think it holds as well.

I'm making a fair bit less power than you guys (390 whp) and have the McLeod Single Plate Street package supposed good up to 450 as I recall. Always great.

Thats a good idea... Im guessing my clutch will need to be replaced around 20k miles, but theres no reason the pressure plate would wear out that quickly, so I might as well reuse it.

I was thinking mc cleod, Ive heard good things. If you say you think it doesnt hold as well I guess Ill go for a model that holds more than enough hp

I've had this one slip a few times where I only had the Spec one slip once. That's the reason I say it doesn't hold as well. They did have other discs available, I just went with the one that they thought would be closest to what I had before. Plus I think I only paid like $75 through GTR for it.

I'm still on my stock LS2 clutch, when it goes i'll upgrade to the LS9 or the LS7 clutch

Ya SPECs hold well, but the chatter is so bad its embarrassing

My spec stage two is flawless and chatter doesn't exist.

Ya some people never have a problem with them... seems like if you tend to ride your clutch more they break in more evenly
