SPEC Clutch and Flywheel?

What exactly causes the clutch to chatter or shudder? Surely you don't have to spend $1k on a clutch to avoid chatter.

I've got over a thousand miles on my Spec II and I still get clutch shudder at low RPMs in 4th gear. If I could do it over again, I would have bought the Mcleod.

To answer your question, lots of things can cause clutch shudder. Dirt or oil on the flywheel surface. (Which I know wasn't there because I cleaned the clutch plate and flywheel with acetone immediately before I assembled them together.) Improperly surfaced flywheel. (I had my flywheel resurfaced by a well respected machine shop while I had my tranny out.) It could be a multitude of problems.

I'll be installing the spec stage 2 with their steel flywheel in 2 weeks. I'll be sure to post the results and i'm doing a how to with pics in hopes to get $100 back from amercian muscle.

When you go for performance you need to realise youre giving up some comfort.

Well don't replace it with a Ram clutch because they say right on their website that their performance clutches will chatter. They also told me the stock flywheel wouldn't work with their performance series clutches because of the friction material used.
