Spec 3 Clutch "whine"
My new Spec 3 with 300 miles is "whining" out of 1st gear FROM A STOP ONLY. Everything else is roses. Im still breaking it in and city shiftin, sounds like someone dragging a chair across a wooden floor from a light or a stop sign when taking off. Is this normal for break in? Thanks

My Spec2 has a couple thousand miles on it and it occasionally lets out a "groan" in first and reverse,just as it engages.
I was a little worried at first,but now it's in the "it just does that every now and then" category.
Works perfect otherwise.

This is not forum banter or a game for me. I'm asking you and the moderators that out of respect for those who earn the right to fly that flag to remove it. Thank you.

If it is doing it on a slow release, I would recommend going out and beating on the car a bit. Get the disk hot and clean off and glazing that might be on it. This typically takes the whine/groan sounds out of them. After talking with a couple different manufacturer's it is caused by the disk being glazed over.

You are wrong on both accounts, federal law specifically prohibits this under Title 10 of the US code. Bill, you are a retired Senior Chief, why aren't you chiming in?

The flag does have more than one meaning, and he said what the reason behind it was. I dont see a problem with it. BACK TO THE QUESTION. Like everyone else said give it some more miles and it should get better. I am about to put a SPEC 3+ in mine.
