Default Dealer. That was another ~400

I am mechanical enough to do a clutch job (been doing them for years) but it is not a job I felt like tackling laying on my back on the garage floor.
If I had a lift I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Default You heard wrong :). It is a bit like a light switch. If you aren't perfect on the let out-throttle

feed it chatters. The stage 2 is more forgiving from what I hear but the stage 3 is either on or off by comparison. I can live with a tendency to chatter cuz it GRABS .. I can spin all 4 thru 1st and well into 2nd no problem.

Default BTW .. I am very easy on clutches. When I pulled the OEM it was still fine and had over 45k on my

Stg III. (75k total . .all but 5 k chipped or w/ the Stg III). I just wanted to be able to do quattro launches and the OEM wouldn't hold that.

Default 4 ... I know of three other guys with them .. 2 w/ 4 and 1 w/ 6. We all have some chatter if we're

not perfect on the let out.
It isn't a huge problem but it is there ...

Default I've been told the 6 has less, and has better "road manners" as it were...

I'm going the stage 4 due to what I have planed for the car.

I'm going Southbend with their unorthodox 10 lb flywheel and lightened pulleys.
