Default Just installed SPEC Stage III clutch + lightened flywheel... First impressions + Question...

Well, everything seems to be fine! Car feels lighter, everyday driving is not much compromised, bite is firm, engine revs easier but during shifts revs drop faster as well. Pedal is light, new Sachs bearing gives it silk-like smoothness. Will try to bed it in and give a full report. I must keep in mind the increased load on the gearbox from now on. Anyway, the only worrying thing is that terrible noise at idle (gearbox slack), now that the flywheel is single mass. It's not that noticeable with the air-con off, but it sounds like a boat when I turn it on. I'm putting back the lighter underdrive pulleys to see if it gets any better, otherwise it's back to OE pulleys and trying to live with it. Noise naturally stops when I press the clutch pedal. Any ideas on how to deal with this?

Oh well, nobody's perfect!

Hi SprinTTer
I`ve just installed the same spec stage3 and a ESC lightweight flywheel after 300 miles it will get better so in the mean time drive it carefully and remember to keep the revs up when you pull away.

Default Re: How much?

Parts, install, etc? I think my clutch is starting to slip and I think Ill probably just go for Stg III as I hope to get APR Stg3 this summer.
