Default Well, put me down for another officially HOSED Spec clutch!!!!

The car has been driving fine up until this morning when I cannot get the clutch to disengage to put it into any gear. I have had some issues where the clutch would make an unusual chatter sound when letting it slip slightly to get into first or reverse.

I put about 3500 miles on it since it was installed new and have done a few launches, but no more than I ever did on my stock clutch which held up just fine on stage 2+. I have a really hard time believing that an aftermarket clutch can only last 3500 miles, considering I put way more miles and abuse on my stock clutch, 40k miles.

Default Wow. When it rains, it pours. Makes me happy that I usually wait until a new mod has been tested

by everyone else before getting it myself.

Are there enough bad clutches to warrant some sort of legal action?

Default I was considering a SPEC clutch, but considering they are not stepping up to this issue... I won't

Customer service and quick resolutions are so important to keeping a business thriving. Turning a blind eye = STUPID way to kill a business.. or at least loose a huge customer base
