Clutch ideas?
Ok so last year I did the t-56 swap (for people considering the swap, do it, you won't be disappointed) and with the purchase of the trans I got a used spec 3+ clutch assembly. So bein myself I'm planning for a new clutch soon, now I love the way the spec clutch felt and grabbed and am considering going that same route, the hardest part for that is the damn price! I mean jesus! $688!! I did find a site that sold it for around $600 but damn! Is there another option here? I really wanna keep the feel that I had with the spec 3+, I've heard of people buying a lt4 pp and buying a disc separate somewhere? Someone point me in the right direction please, thanks

I'm running the Autozone LT4 PP and Mcleod disc with good results.

Grab pretty good? Any slippage at wot? I mean will it compare to my old spec? Sounds good price wise.

Re: Clutch ideas?
Find a brake and clutch exchange. They may be able to re-line the disc and surface the pressure plate / flywheel for you, with some options on the disc material.

It performs very well and hasn't slipped yet. It has >10k miles and still works as good as day one. I can't compare it to your spec since this is the only setup I've ran so far.
