which clutxh is better?

[THAITED]

Exedy Mach 600 stage 4 or SPEC stage 3+ (pedal effort, longivity, chatter etc). Also what are the symptoms of clutch slipping? When I backed up my car into the driveway or drove forward, I could hear a grinding noise. It felt like the clutch was not engaged all the way. My driveway is not even that steep. When shifting from 3rd to 4th at high speed, I have to muscle it in (sometime, I missed). The harder I drive the car the harder it is to shift. I can no longer powershift it, thanks. Sorry misspelled clutch.

I had a bad expierence with the spec stage 2 plus clutch it blew out with in 3k then I put a Dual Centerforce clutch in it and its awesome I wouldn't go with any other clutch after getting this one

I have the spec 3+ and is holding up well. Pedal feel is heavier than stock.

I x2 to the Centerforce dual friction clutch. It's great, very similar to stock feel. I have no noise/chatter from mine at all barely notice that it's different from stock. Can't tell you about longevity as I've only had it about 1000 miles but I'm loving it so far. Don't see any problem with it lasting for some time. Plan to be around 600hp 500+ torque once my fuel system is completed.

I also have a buddy with a spec stage 2 and he really likes it a lot too. Has had it for a bit longer maybe 3-5k miles no problems or noise. I think it's a little tougher than mine as far as pedal effort from the 1 time I drove it.

Thanks, I have SPEC stage 2 1/2. It's only last me like 15k. It's now burnt out.

I have used Specs for the past 17 years, and all of them performed flawlessly....

Great choice. It will hold anything you can throw at it.

I go by the type of driving I do. I drive it normal for about 30 minutes around town. Then let it cool down for an hour or so. Then drive it again, with a little more throttle during accelerations for another hour or so. Let it cool down. Next next, apply a few WOT runs, followed by some casual driving. Let it sit another hour. It's usually ready by then. Going by miles does does nothing.... You could get on the highway and drive 500 miles in 5th or 6th gear, but the friction surfaces won't be mating at all.

good information for me thanks,

I'd definitely go with a spec, as long as you break it in properly!

Actually, that was me. May be that was my problem then. I drove the car hard after the new clutch.
