Got my New Spec super twin done today and tried to take it for my first spin but didnt even make it out of the driveway of the shop.....
Im looking for people who might be running this clutch that could give me some feedback on what to try to check. I will call Spec first thing monday morning but till then, thought i would try to ask here for a little help.
I have 3 issues after my install.
Issue 1,
I have "Chatter" everytime i disengage the clutch. In the instructions that came with the clutch it says a possible cause is due to the clutch not being broke in. Not sure though this is really the case for me. Also, the car was on a bit of a incline so i let it roll backwards in neutral and i could hear "chatter" / "vibration" comming from somewhere in the clutch or driveline. It almost felt like the driveshaft was vibrating for a second, really strange. Something isnt right with it and that for sure i know.
Issue 2,
Its very hard to shift gears now. And i mean hard. I gave up on getting it into reverse after 10 or 15 mins fighting the shifter, it just wouldnt go into reverse. On my second attempt to get out of the parking lot i grinded the hell out of 2nd gear and i had the clutch pedal to the floor.
Issue 3,
Clutch pedal is to the FLOOR! Clutch is either ON or OFF. There is no "play" at all on this thing. I killed it at least 5 or 6 times trying to make it from a dead stop in 1st gear. I have to give it WAYYY to much gas to make it move out of 1st gear. There is just no way i can drive the car like this. I need a bit more time to get the gas pedal pushed. It sure is NO WHERE like the stock clutch at all. It acts like the slave cylinder is not extending far enough out or something, and i even bought a new one to put in while i had the tranny out.
So right off the bat im disappointed but the jury is still out for me on the clutch till i can talk to a tech at spec monday morning. Not sure if i have missed something somewhere. Everything went together so smooth and thats prolly the biggest reason im disappointed.
