two things:

1st, pick up a blind bearing puller. You will just waste your time without it.

2nd, stay away from SPEC clutches. I know there is a lot of people that endorse them, but I have bought two separate SPEC III's for my 1J swap only to find them damage beyond use, wasting over $500 in turn.

I ended up with an ACT clutch. It's kind of jerky on take off, but it seems to be handling things well.

you just can't drive LOLOL

j/p

i liked the SPEC i had it took a beating for a year on tissimo's car and then a year on mine and 3 months with a 60-1 then back to stock and i sold it with it still holding good.

seems like a damn good clutch to me

overall it prolly had about 150 launches on it with 300whp on both cars

The first disk I bought had a flared piece of metal below the friction bearing surface that would have tore up the flywheel had it not been caught. The second disk was just plain warped :icon_conf

Maybe it was just bad luck, but....
