Stage III & 1/2 clutch, ..."the sequil"

[bstockum]

Sequel, ... sorry... I can't seem to get up there to fix that.

After almost 800 miles, my new clutch still holds no better than the stock. It did get better with 500 or so, but it has leveled out and refuses to keep the engine hooked up, over 10 psi boost.
Clutch Masters has agreed to send a stronger pressure plate and different clutch material to get this torque under control. They are surprised the one I have won't hold it. They keep asking how much TQ it is making! ... I can't tell you, ... cause the s#@! won't HOLD! ..... I think they finally got the message. It started to sound like I was making too much power for a stage III clutch. I asked, ... isn't it supposed to be better than stock? They abandoned that line real quick!
No offer was made to cover the swap labor and I didn't ask.
It aint gonna happen anyway, going there would just make things more tense. .... I'm a big boy, .... and it's just not worth the fight.

...... If the next one works,..... you won't have to worry, so you guys can buy me some cheese, .... you know...to go with my .....!

............... Later,........ Bob ......... :/
