Pontiac Solstice Forum - View Single Post - Clutchmasters Stage 4 Install Next Week!

Well, I had the Fidanza billet flywheel and Spec stage II+ clutch and pressure plate installed. I'm not ready to recommend it at this time. I have a vibration that started after the install. I've been in contact with Spec and they feel it's not their equipment and it's either a bad install or the noise & vibration are 'normal'. It best not be normal - or I'm pi$$ed!

So - I ordered and have received a clutch/pressure plate for a GXP. I'm going to see if it will bolt up to my stock flywheel. If it does the next step will be to drop the transmission down and check the Spec installation. If there is no obvious install problem (loose bolts, wrong bolt pattern, etc) I am going to assume that the Fidanza/Spec combo is a problem and it's coming out, to be replaced with the GXP clutch.

Madmods, that was a long answer - but that's my status.
