Problems with spec stage 2+
#13
Got my aluminum flywheel and spec stage 2+ clutch installed.
Must say it feels horrible. The car is alot tougher to go into gear then it use to be both from a stop and especially from shifting at higher RPMS.
Even getting the car out of gear does not feel like it use to. its rough as if i dont even have the clutch pushed in. When shifting there is a small delay even once the clutch pedal is already completely let out where the rpms will drop before they start to climb again.
I sat there and pumped the pedal for 30 minutes so i dont know anything else i can do.
Any ideas? It is a OEM throw out/slave. Was purchased new from ford same time i put the clutch in

Replaced stock TOB= 3 times
Specs shim= which they claimed I did not need
Bleed clutch system= at least 5 not counting the times the trans was pulled
Shifters tried=Hurst, Pro5.0, Stock, back to Pro5.0
Master cylinder= 1
Pilot Bearing= 1
CHE K-Member brace w/torque limiters
Prothane Motor Mounts
Mcleod TOB= failed due to over extending
I am sure I am missing a couple of things.
Bottom line is the SpecsII+ is a POS, and their employees/customer service is crap, and they treat their customers who call with a complaint like we are a bunch of fricking monkeys and have no idea what we are talking about. If I were you, I would remove your specs setup and throw it in the damn garbage because that is exactly what it is trash.

My SPEC II has always only had a very faint shudder. (In low RPMs in 3rd and 4th gear.) It wouldn't bother me except theat when I spoke to SPEC, they promised me it would go away with time.

Mine still shudders below 2k rpms (I hesitate to even call it a shudder because you can't feel it, but you hear it), most noticeable in 2nd and 3rd. Maybe it would have gone away if I broke it in differently, but I doubt it. I did a lot of downshifting during break in, which is the way I normally drive.

So even after having it bleed by ford and them say the bleed was ok but road test not ok spec is no help. Nothing resolved yet... They still claim there is air in the lines.
Guess its time to cut my losses. So what clutch should i got with?
