Well yesterday I went ahead and ordered a Stage 3 clutch and Aluminum Flywheel from Spec. I couldnt wait any longer for anyother company to come out with a clutch/flywheel combo for our cars. I will be getting it all installed at my buddies shop between March 3rd and 8th. I will tell all of you how it is cause I have been hearing good and bad things about the clutches. But my stock clutch is beat to hell and it slips a good amount at WOP in 2nd and 3rd.
But its cool cause Stage 3 and an aluminum Flywheel will be in there soon! :eek: :eek: :eek:

my clutch went out at 4k. GM isnt doin anything about this. one dealership told me the motor is too much for the clutch. i got screwed by another dealership who reported me to GM saying i beat my vehicle. this is bull. just because they made a mistake, now its my fault. its $1300 to fix the clutch. We all need to get together and make our voices heard. i know i didnt spend 23k to have a POS sitting in my garage.

Yea mine slips like no other. But I have so many upgrades that its just not holding power. If I were you I would just go get an aftermarket clutch because this stock clutch is a piece of shit and there is no point on getting another stock clutch just for it to blow out again in 4K miles. I was going to go get another clutch from the manufacturer but after thinkin about it I just decided to get a stage 3 clutch from Spec and an Aluminum flywheel. It is going to be a great investment down the road when I go for real power. Which will be soon with the Stage 3 Head which gains 14-19% HP!!! So that will add about 50 whp! So Ill be well over 300 very soon!

My clutch is also slipping. It sucks. Let us all know how the stage 3 clutch install goes along with any problems you run into. I plan on getting the stage 3 clutch from spec, or the a clutch from centerforce once they come out with one. Still debating on the flywheel. I probably will upgrade the flywheel since everything will already be apart.

My clutch is slipping bad too. I want to buy the SPEC Stage 2+, but I want to see how well it holds up before I buy.

Yes I will definitely let all of you know how the install goes and how it is when i rip the hell outta it after 1,000 miles break in. Yea I go about twice the amount of break in just because I like to be on the safe side. But I will let you know how everything goes!
