Default spec clutch feel good post

Well, some may remember i originally had problems with pedal lifting, and a 'bubble' feeling with the peddle in my brand new spec stg 2 clutch, well, it got bled, and it fixed it, its firm, engagement is dead center, and it grabs HARD, but doesnt chatter, or shake the car unless i bog it at a light (which ahem, i have never done... *cough*) its about 2.5K miles deep, and was purchased on 06/04, so for all those who just purchased/installed a spec clutch! there is hope!

hearing all those stories right after you spend 1.5k on a clutch and a install of that very part going bad leaves you with a good feeling, let me tell you... lol.. anyways all my fingers and toes are still crossed!

Default Does that RS4 clutch hold your power well enough? No slippage? Seems like a good way..

to go now that the SPECs are giving problems.

Default See my previous discussion. No slippage, hard launches...

I spun all four a few times at the track, launching at over 4k. I think proper break-in is essential for organic clutches though, ymmv.

Cool. Sorry, must have missed the earlier discussion. I think the RS4 is good enough for me then.
