Max Capacity Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I had to replace my Spec 2 clutch at 50,000 miles. I began to slip when cold in 5th gear. After I drove like 20 miles it was fine in a 5th gear roll on. But after the car sat for a while like over night or during work it would slip in 5th until it warmed up. Today I had a Spec 2+ clutch and OEM SMFW. I have 25 miles on the new set up. I can't believe how light the pedal is, it's lighter then the OEM clutch in my 09 Spec B. There is also a ton less driveline noise compared to the Spec LWFW. I have had a Spec 2+ before, I replaced it at 85,000 miles when I put the ej257 in the car. It was still going strong at that time. I'm an idiot for not putting a SMFW in at that time. That was May 2012. I also have Moore Performance Plates installed on the 5mt. I still think they make an improvement in the way the tranny shifts. I have the Spec 2 clutch and will take pictures of it later and post them. It may be till early next week before I have time to do that. Winters a bitch this year. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Max Capacity Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Sent measurements and pictures to Spec. My disc mic's out at .249-.251, new it was .310". I should have gone with a Spec2+ instead of a Spec 2 clutch. Over 120 miles on the 2+ still enjoy it, nice pedal action. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
