so far i have heard no bashing on the textralia's or the mcleod's . i can't believe they are perfect. ron i'm still waiting to hear from you.

I had a spec 3+.....Great clutch, but my experiance on customer service wasn't as great.....I've had a Textralia oz700 since 06'...had one issue, called the rep, made a 6hr drive to Houston, recieved a new clutch and had it installed on the reps dime....Same clutch has been in since June of 07' 20k and 50+ 7200k dumps and going..

I'm leaning on the Textralia triple....Customer service can mend any situation even if the product fails....

Running the PT trim on my Z06...hadnt skipped a beat yet....rather aggressive as it has broken some parts...Clutch will find a weak link...on the same day in March, Im running the PT a friend running the SS: I broke Trans output shaft and ring gear, he broke trans output, diff case, tq tube, and bellhousing....clutches looked great....another friend with a 550rwhp NA 2000 Vette broke 2 rears and a Trans output shaft with his spec twin....he removed for something less aggressive and the clutch looked great....he checked balance on the clutch and it was perfect
In the past Ive run a Spec 3 X pad way back when....installed/shimmed properly with adjustable master...car took drag stip abuse for years 6800 clutch dumps on ET drags and powershifted with ease...still kicking today 50k miles later....others in this thread have mentioned the install, pull, shim, reinsall mess....this not a matter of trail and error...as slowhawk noted you should check the gap on EVERY clutch between the T/O bearing and clutch fingers to determine slave shim or not....Bleeding also very important...Bleed bleed bleed bleed, then bleed again and mity vac is a nice tool....Im installing a tick master on my car to ensure the quickest shifts and to lower my pedal position with adjustability to ease launching at the drag strip
best of luck guys!

Kurt it is always nice to see your posts and I think you have really hit the nail on the head! It's always easier to measure twice and cut once as it were.

trust me i'm gonna do it right as it's way to o expensive not to. jeremy, does the clutch have the shim/no shim specs in the box? i hope to have everything this weekend.

SPEC-01 · 10-21-2009, 12:30 PM

No, the kit does not include the shim/no-shim measurements. Our kits are designed to use the shim and as such they are sent together. Of course, as mentioned above it doesn't hurt to measure...but as a whole these kits need the shim!

quickbrick · 10-21-2009, 12:42 PM

good to know jeremy thanks. i will search for the thread before hand then.

quickbrick · 11-02-2009, 12:57 PM

first off, many thanks to joey at tick performance and jeremy at spec. the clutch install went great and finished it off this weekend in the middle of a halloween drinking marathon. i would recommend this clutch to anyone considering a twin disc. i have a bunch of pics taken as well as measurements. i will have a hard time trying to control myself from going wide open for 500 miles though.

Any updates on how you like the clutch so far?
