Spec Stage 2 and Billet Aluminum Flywheel

[jaywoo]

Well I bit the bullet and ordered a Spec stage 2 and billet aluminum flywheel. Even with the MGW shifter and the assist spring removed I'm having a terrible time shifting about 7000 rpms and the clutch feels mushy while trying to shift. I'm thinking I need to order a steel brained clutch line also, just so everything is new. My car has just over 8000 miles on it and has never shifted well about 7000.

Anyway, anyone else swapped their clutch? Did it help? I'm sure hoping so!! :beer:

yes, the new clutch will handle high rpms much better especially with the low mass flywheel. no new clutch line needed, that's only a fix for the stock clutch.

Do the remote clutch reservoir and dot 4 fluid. Single best clutch upgrade I've done. And I have a spec twin disk, and braided line...

If I had your HP I'd have done the twin Disk also. I was planning on the dot 4 fluid, but what does the remote reservoir do for it?

 

[mantis118]

Keeps clutch fluid seperat from the brake fluid.

Keeps clutch fluid seperat from the brake fluid.

How does that work, doesn't the clutch and brake still share the same master cylinder?

No only the reservoir is shared. I used a gto reservoir and swapped fluid for ate blue. Single best upgrade I have done. And I'm only $40 into it. There is a writeup on the gt section on it. My car shifts so much better now!
