Killed a Stage 2 Clutch
I'm pretty sure I killed my Zoom Stage 2 Clutch, so this goes out as a bit of a warning...
When I did all the mods to my car, I put in a Zoom Stage 2 Clutch.... Took forever to break in and 1 day to break it. I have less than 8000 miles on it...
I'm being honest when I say this as well...I never really beat on my car until last Saturday... I won't lie, I do drive it, sometimes hard, but never gave her a decent 'beating on' until last Saturday... but that wasn't anywhere near a full day of beating on it... Basically, some good hard driving highway miles, a few burnouts, and probably 3-4 smokin donuts in a parking lot...
The clutch started slipping after that cause I'm sure it was hot... I let her sit for a few hours (I was at a party) got back in and the clutch was engaging at the floor.... now I can just barley get it into gear.... She's going in on Monday for a fixing, which at this point I'm 99% sure I'm gunna have to replace the clutch...uggg... I really wouldn't care so much, but I just don't wanna have to go thru that break in period again...
If it does need a new clutch, anyone have any recommendations, I'm not putting another one of those ZOOM POS in...I'm thinking maybe step it up to a stage 3....Just wondering who makes a good one?

Yeah, I've hear people having probs with the Spec's but also people loving them... You sure that the Zoom is regarded that 'low".... Not that I care, cause as far as I'm concerned, based on how little I did beat on it, it is a POS in my book...but autozone pos???

Ahh, that's alright, I know ya gotta pay if ya wanna play, but man, I didn't really even 'play' that much... there (IMO) really is no reason it should have gone that quick... maybe I just got a bum one... it's just the down-time, and then the breaking in the clutch thing that is killing me...

you got it really hot..worst thing you could have done was let it sit!!! you melted the plates together haha
you should have drove around and cooled it off
