installed the spec stage 3+ clutch and fly wheel in my car last week. did 500 miles in town to break it in. LITERALLY, the first WOT 3-4 shift I did broke 4th gear. 6r80 time I guess..

Holy smokes.... I had a spec 3+ in my s197 that made 501 at the wheels and it lasted forever being beat on constantly. I was considering the same setup for my blown ‘15 but now maybe back to the drawing board!

Sounds like the clutch did it's job well! It exposed the next weak link in your drivetrain.

I could have sworn that I saw this somewhere else, oh well...
Someone asked for comments on their experience with the Spec Stage 3+ clutch a while back and I gave it to them. I said that it clamps like a gorilla on steroids. It's on and off making it hard to feather. I personally loved the clutch on my 03 Cobra. I have thought about getting one for my Roush.
Yeah the Spec Stage 3+ is not for the faint of heart.

Oh a couple of questions, were you running an aluminum flywheel and did you have to change the output shaft of the MT82? Did you change anything else, like slave?
