I put the stage 1 on my '96 when throwout bearing on it did the same thing. Love the clutch. Definitely a change from stock though. It's more of a performance clutch and "grabs" hard. Yeah, SPEC is a good clutch. Can't say much for their salesteam or website, but their product is top notch.

SPEC recommends 500 miles the majority of which is stop and go traffic. State you shouldn't do any full throttle accelerations during that period.[sm=gears.gif]

For one thing it void your warranty! Mechanics vary in their opinion as to it's validity, but the idea is it helps mate the new clutch to the flywheel.
