Has anyone heard of a Spec clutch? Do you have any experience/stories? I heard it was better than a King Cobra? Just need some info.
Thanks guys

I have heard bad things about Spec. Aparantley some are fine, but some break pretty quick. Get a Mcleod.

I had a post about clutches, I was told Mcleod is the way to go

new clutches need breaking in right? About how many miles?

Same for a new tranny, they need breaking in also right? Miles?

I've heard some say 500 miles for a clutch, but then again I've heard others say there is really no break in period, opinion maybe? I had an old '60's Powerglide rebuilt once, they told me 500 miles for that too..

Most clutch manufacturers recommend a 500 mile break in period. I generally just put my car in high gear and smoke the clutch once to seat it. Never have any problems after that.
