I am looking to get a SPEC clutch for my 95 Z but I am not sure whether to get the stage 1, 2, or 3. Money does not matter so I am looking to pick up a good clutch. Also the car is an everyday driver so I need something that suits it needs. If there is a better clutch out there for the same price range though feel free to let me know.

I wouldn't recomend a SPEC stage 2 or 3 clutch after the crap I went through with the SPEC stage 2.

Speaking of clutches... what is the Centerforce II rated for HP and TQ? Will it hold my 383? Or should I opt for the Dual friction?

I would opt for a McLeod clutch. SPEC's are not bad but I feel that the McLeod products are better. Thunder Racing sells them.Comment

ttt. So should I just get the SPEC stage 1 clutch then since some other people said they had trouble with the stage 2. Money is no problem though so I was going to get the stage 2. Would an SLP clutch be better to get?Zach Elwell hinse Sacius or Sac for the smart asses!

Sorry. I got busy last night and forgot to come back and answer your question. Here is the thread on my problems with the SPEC stage 2 clutch. http://www.f-body.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9174 To make a long story short, the clutch had about a .010 taper in thickness. It was causing a massive driveline vibration when I let the clutch out. I'd swear the rear end was bouncing off the ground. Reverse was unusable. I bought a SLP clutch disc and put it in using the SPEC pressure plate and it fixed it. I sent my clutch back to SPEC and they sent me a new stage 1 disc. Since the SLP was working fine, I wasn't going to swap discs so I can't tell you how well the stage 1 disc works. I imagine it would be fine since it is organic. The stage 2 is Kevlar. I think the stage 2 would eventually wear in but it was not worthOriginally posted by Sacius
a year for that to happen. If I had it to do all over again, I would have bought the SLP clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing from http://www.lmperformance.com/2970/2.html .
