decided to edit the post, he called me back, i think the clutch is just glazzed over ill wait a few weeks, but with my size 14 shoe i think ill just get a new clutch that wont have this kind of problem... seems he got a little mad about the "defamatory" coments but i was a little pissed, I think I had a good reason to be, but in short the post just stated the clutch slipped in the 93 ocatain setting..

 

this never happened to me but i remember tom telling me something about how he glazed his clutch and it was slipping. then he drove it around for a bit and it started holding agian. and it hasnt failed him yet. i think thats what happened. try driving it around a bit more and see if it gets better

 

That car sounds awesome, sorry about the problems but when they are all worked out it should be a beast. Where did you buy it?

 

i thought the same thing im going to give it a few days b4 i call and get mad, but i have been driving stick since i was 16 almost 10 years i have never clazzed a clutch but i have also never owned a awd car with a **** load of power

 

Time for a FL gtg with torque wrenches in hand i think...
Sorry to hear about the problems... Obviously 40 miles of driving isnt going to kill a clutch even if you arent experienced. He never told you when he put in the spec2 or whatever its called clutch in?

 

all we talked about with the clutch was the first time I called him I asked how the clutch was and he said it was good, he may have said when he put it in but i dont remember

 

Yep. I had no problems with the clutch and it was holding perfectly when the car was dropped for shipment. It absolutely is a spec s2 clutch and there are plenty of other BT guys using it with their setups. I'd guess it either got glazed by nick or by the tow truck driver operator while he was loading it on the truck. He was tearing the *** out of the clutch when he was trying to load it.

Drive the car and baby it for a little bit and see if you can remove some of the transferred material off the flywheel.

Other then that, the posters statements look a bit defamatory.

 

I do read these message boards, you know. Grow up.

 

Relax. If you read the message boards so much you should know to take such comments with a grain of salt.

 

i was pissed as anyone else would have been I think its in my right to be.. He called me back so I feel better, could have worded it a bit nicer but i was mad at the time alot of other things I was thinking didnt make it to the thread but he did call so that says alot. Read a bit about the spec stage 2 clutch looks like this is a common problem, Matt even stated on the phone the clutch was crapy and after he put it on thought the clutch sucked.. just would have been nice to know b4 hand.. no big deal gives me a reason to take apart the car needs a rear diff seal anyway
