Default Clutch...Spec Stage 3

I was orginally going to go with spec stage 3 = 695 ft lbs of torque.....but for being a strong clutch could that damage my t3650???

Its not going to do anything to your transmission.. but I have the stage 3 and I would NOT recommend it for a DD unless you really need the holding power.

It likes to chatter, and its what I call a "digital clutch"... it is pretty much either IN or OUT

get the spec stage 3 +, the plus is not a multiple puck desing as the stage 3 is. It has way less chatter ...ask around.

The spec stage 3+ has plenty of chatter, I had one in my cobra when I bought it. The 3+ is a pretty stiff clutch, I didn't like it at all for a DD, It does hold pretty dam good. I now have a stage 2+ with my new tko-600 and I like the engagement alot better. I think the Spec stage 2+ holds like 650ft-lbs or something around there.

[align=left]Yeah I got a stage three in mine and it has been great, granted it sucks sometimes driving in traffic, but it hasn't been that big of a problem. If you plan on doing a big project it is a great clutch to have.

I have a stg 3. It is great in every way. In HEAVY stop and go traffic, it's terrible, but everything else is cool. The pedal effort is pretty nice also.
