First and foremost, thanks to Kevin for the lift, storage of my car for a week and of course the help of getting my car on the road. Everything went pretty much smooth as can be really.
Got the input shaft replaced and the tranny refreshed a bit. Installed the Spec 3+ with steel flywheel.
First impressions of the 3+ w/ steel flywheel compared to the DFX w/ aluminum flywheel:
1. Pedal pressure is less than the DFX setup. Not much, but noticable to me at least.
2. Chatter is now non existent compared to the DFX which was horrible
3. The steel flywheel seems to have taken the "bite" out of taking off..it is very smooth. Almost like the steel flywheel absorbs the initial shock I guess.
4. 450 mile break in recommended instead of the supposed no break in for the DFX
5. Clutch grabs up more towards the top compared to where my DFX was. Could be because the DFX was warn a bit, but it grabbed real low. My initial drive I was over revving the engine because I was used to the DFX grabbing down low off the floor.
I have only put 50 miles on so far so I have a ways to go before I can beat on it, but so far so good...my pedal vibration is gone now and the clutch feel smooth. I hope it can hold the power because I will not be going back to a Centerforce product again. For those of you with the 3+, does it grab up high for you? I have a decent amount of play in the pedal and the cable is plenty loose at the adjuster...probably can pull it at least 1/4 inch away from the adjuster.
