that spec clutch kit?, how do u like urs? Options

[urbandork]

Ive been reading up on that spec clutch kit for 3s swapers using a 5s tranny and i was wondering how you guys like it? and also if ur using a 2nd or 3rd stage? and with a 3rd gen 3s i should be using a 2nd or 3rd stage?

doc tweak says

"The combo that most people use is, 3S flywheel, 3S pressure plate, and either a 5S disc or a 3S disc splined for the 5S. Since the only company that makes the 5s splined 3s disc is SPEC, and they haven't been doing that well for us lately, and we have a 5S flywheel (which bolts to the 3S perfectly), the logical solution is to use a high performance 5S clutch kit. This will also simplify things down the road if and when the clutch needs to be replaced again.

By the way, the difference in the total outside diameter between the 5S and 3S clutch discs is barely 1/4". The whole issue of using a 3S disc is highly overrated. I'm actually considering using the 5S flywheel and a good stage 2 or stage 3 clutch kit on ALL my swaps from now on.

-Doc"

i had thought about doing this too.

o yeah and teh 245hp that the 3rd gen is speced at is at teh crank right

6 pucks are not good for daily driving. the engagement is too harsh

i have a 6puck. as long as it has springs then you can totally street drive it. it was a little harsh for the first 1-3,000 miles of driving it tho.
