umm to tell you the truth it might be your flywheel. To small and to light for all that power. We did the clutch and the flywheel in my friend camaro and had some of the same issues except we had to push it home hah, and this would explain why paul went through the same.

Well just do it in two "sections" of 6 hours each! That will get you there. And by the time you get home, all your break in miles will be on it again!Kooldino said:Haha, just a little road trip to Illinios.
Believe me, if you lived within 6 hours of me, I'd totally be there.

i skipped page 2 and 3 of this thread but from what I heard if you want the clutch to handle alot of torque and still be pretty smooth for the street you need a puck clutch that has a sprung hub, like the stage3 spec clutch mentioned on the first page and some of the higher end exedy clutches popular in DSM's.
I know I just read an article about the potentials of the evo and the clutch they upgraded to to handle up to 600hp was an exedy sprung hub puck clutch and they said there was little to no added harshness in shifts compared to stock because of the spring design or somethin.

is a 6puck any better? I believe that is what they used in the evo article with the exedy setup, a 6puck sprung hub, i think it was stage 3 but I could be off cause they never identified what stage clutch they put in, just that it was a sprung puck style.
I only remember because they specifically made remarks about how close to stock it still felt even though it could now handle the 4-500+lbs of torque they were throwing through there.
ON a side note that article was quite interestiing, i think it was in superstreet and it was all about what the max stock potential was of the new evo. With mostly flow work and some fuel work they eventually maxed it at 495whp, including a new IC. They had to strap a new mani and GT series turbo on to hit 500+whp at under 20psi and the turbo only spooled 300-600rpm later than stock. Amazing to see a car hit almost 600whp on stock bottom end and internals and not cough any of it up. mmm 4g63

When I ordered mine, the guy told me the stage 3 would be a lot more harsh on the drive train than the stage 2. I'm not going to be at that level anytime soon, so the stage 2 is good enough. If someone is pushing more than 309ft-lbs of torque on the stock bottom end, then tell me your secret!p5sundevil said:

I wasnt saying anyone needed stage3, that reference was simply that, a reference to another use of an exedy clutch and the remarks made about it. I was just trying to show how necessary it is for a sprung hub when using a puck style clutch. That is, in attempt to retain as much stock feel as possible.
I completely agree a stage 3 clutch is worthless in our cars as the tranny and bottom end will go before you ever reach the need for it.
Then again there may be a few people with built bottom ends and worked over trannies who might try.
