SPEC (Star) clutch installed with NO problems
I got the stage II with aluminum flywheel package. The shop installed it in 2 hours! :eek: I thought I would post a success since some of the negative experiences with SPEC seem to be with fitment and installing it.
Once I get it broke in I will post the results. I have a little transmission rattle at idle and sometimes accelerating below 2k. No big deal.

Re: SPEC (Star) clutch installed with NO problems (ericcer)
I have a SPEC Stage III clutch with the aluminum flywheel and it has been perfect from day 1. It is a little noisier, but my cam and exhaust make it virtually unnoticable. The Stage III grabs very well, but can be touchy and takes some getting used to. I have over 12,000 miles on it now and it's still as strong as ever!

Re: SPEC (NE14SIN)
They took the tranny out, replaced the clutch and flywheel and reinstalled the transmission in 2 hours?! Holy crap they are good. Do you notice anything else besides a little more noise? Does the engine rev faster or shift any better?

Re: SPEC (NE14SIN)
What were you charged for installation?
I have not had any time yet to do much of a test drive. Just drove it for a few miles when I got it after lunch today.

Re: SPEC (Star) clutch installed with NO problems (ericcer)
My SPEC II has also worked without a flaw. MORE perf. in Charlotte did the clutch / flywheel and 3:73's all at once. Works well..hooks hard and is Definately noisy, especially with a single mass fly..I would definately do it again.. I have about 1,000 miles on mine

Re: SPEC (-=Jeff=-)
I heard that the SPEC II and aluminum flywheel tend to chatter more..
I assume these all of you are using are Kevlar discs right?

Yes, my Spec stage 2 and aluminum flywheel is noisy. I don't mind.

I meant more chatter when engaging the clutch.. not necessarily the noise.

Re: SPEC (R94 LT 1)
My Stage III (with aluminum flywheel) quiets right done when the clutch is engaged, no rattleing at all. The stage III is a little grabby and takes some getting used to because of the "puck" type friction plate used. But like I said mine is a daily driver and I have had no issues with it...just took about 75 miles of driving to get to know it that's all.

Re: SPEC (Zix)
Mine is noisy but grabs well and is easier to use than stock. Most of the chatter stops around 2000 and lots of people say I have a bad bearing until I put in the clutch and it gets real quiet.
