Default Burned through a spec stage II clutch in under 4k.
What other options do I have????? I want a strong clutch that will last a while. I'd be willing to pay a little more for a better clutch. And don't tell me that spec stage II is it either, because there has to be some better ones out there.

Default Learn how to drive a stick. There is no way that should have happened unless something was done
improperly on installation. Sorry, there is no way it should fail in only 4k miles under proper or even aggressive use.

Default No :) I should have broken it in better for sure.
I hadn't had my car for 7 months then get it back and have a stage V on my hands. What would you do?

Not waste the $1500 investment in my clutch like you did.
