I bought it like this, so I did not have a choice. Do you think it is adjustable and easy fixer or trash the SPEC and buy a Centerforce DF clutch?

I run a SPEC 3 PLUS clutch, and I have almost 800 rwhp and over 700rwtq, and it STILL shifts like butter! I would say that SPEC is the way to go, unless you want to spend some extra coin, and go with McLeod. I would advise you to stay away from Centerforce. Another 3.4L Whipple Cobra, in AZ, one of my friends, used to run a Centerforce clutch, and it went out the first time at the track, with slicks. He has switched to SPEC and has had no further issues.

Taster's Choice! ....Centerforce DF was the best clutch I ever used! Had over 80 passes in the mid 10's and never slipped or let me down! Tremec 3550 shifted like butter!

...OP, what about an adjustable clutch quadrant?? <----What you think mfj??
