Drivability is important to me because I have almost a two hour daily round trip into Chicago with a lot of stop-and-go traffic. I've not driven a car with either of these clutches so I don't really know if there is an issue with or difference in drivability at all.

Generally there are more forgiving engagement characteristics and softer materials that make putting around town less jumpy and tiring. It's stiff and low engagement initially then it'll start to come out. For long trips, I wouldn't recommend it. Mar 14, 38 9 0 Ride E90 xDrive.

The Spec stage 2 clutch, for example, can handle foot-pounds of torque in a GTI, when the manufacturer's clutch had previously only been able to handle foot-pounds of torque. This dramatically increases acceleration and ability to quickly climb hills, the purview of the lower gears. Stage 2 clutches require extra parts to make them compatible with the car.

The Spec clutch mentioned above, for example, is too powerful for its car's original flywheel. If it was put in on its own, it would quickly destroy the flywheel by putting too much pressure on it.

To install the Spec, the user also has to install a new, more durable flywheel that can handle the extra torque. Spec will tell you to drive the car gently for 'city' miles i. I broke mine in appropriately and it has been good to me so far. I love the spec stage 2, it is perfect for my application. I have a bolt-on car and will be adding a cam shortly It is also the car that I drive every day, so I needed a clutch that wouldn't kill my damn leg in city traffic. In my eyes it is a perfect compromise between street and strip.

My bf's blown LT1 car has a stage 3 and it would not be fun to drive everyday, in my opinion. It doesn't have a lot of give to it and is a little heavy to push in. He makes well over hp though so it was necessary for him to get something that could take a severe beating! I would imagine the stages would be similiar on a V6 car I would recommend stage 2. How many miles do you drive it everyday? It doesn't feel any different then the stock one did? I loved my clutch it was so easy to go Compared to some other manuals I've driven I could literally dump it and it wouldn't stall.

I may not keep my car that long But, If I keep it I may add a mildly-agressive cam, 3.
