Re: performance clutch (C4396roadster)
I'm assuming this is a 6 spd application. If so, my thoughts are below.
I ran the McLeod with the previous combo. Had problems with slippage in 3rd / 4th under heavy boost, after hard running. McLeod said that they would like me to return it to see what is wrong with it. Prior to that it was a good unit. I think they will wind up replacing it, may wind up putting it in my other car.
With the new combo, I upgraded to the SPEC Stage IV. SWEET!!! No problems to date. Minor chatter. Grips like a pit bull! I am running the aluminum zero balance flywheel. The pressure plate appears to be very close to the old PP from the dual mass.
I am not familiar with just disk upgrades. I am sure they are available, because it seems like all the aftermarket uses the Valeo PP as well.
Best of Luck,
Aaron
