[s-cars] SPEC Clutch Blues

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

Odd... I use the 3+ with a LWFW and have no noise at all, and no weird behavior.

yeha wierd sounds abound w/my spec...

you better not jinx me dammit!

though i had pretty much the same questionable sound behavior with my last
clutch,, sachs solid 4puck (AKA bad idea).

this time its the spec sprung 6puck 'feramic' ,, believe it was referred to
as 3+ but not sure.  though ive got a heavyweight sinlgemass FW..  i
replaced my guide sleeve this last time around and being that the -sorta
sneaker squeek with a scarecrow caw mixed in-  was there right away, im
convinced its the T/O bearing.

varying opinions myself here, but next time im considering using very little
mos2, if any, and buffing the guide sleeve even more than the factory
does..  ive not ever saturated the t/o bearing or sleeve but i wonder about
completely dry,, or like i said,,  MoS2'ed then buffed off& installed..

get well soon!
