Spec clutch problem
Hi guys
i have spec twin plate hydrolauc clutch on my 380 WHP evo 8
this model has 5 shifting gear only
the problem is that mostly when i race and shift the gear from first to 2nd on 7500 RPM ( due to the turbo lag), the i can feel a two step shift between the first and the second gear, so i should wait like 1-2 sec for the gear to be fully shifted, and due to this many cars go ahead of me
and the other problem is that the when releasing the clutch on the first in normal driving, i need to increase the throttle to 2500 rpm, and it is much harder than the exedy to drive,
i have driven the car for 1000 km only since i installed the clutch, and the problem was from the time i installed it, the clutch is equally tuned, the releasment is on the last one third
so why did they make it???

Your question is vague but I will try to answer it the best I can
when you say " adjustment is on the last 1/3rd " what do you mean by that ?
how many threads are left from the end of adjustment rod of the master cylinder..?
In my case I have 5 threads left.
also your comment about normal driving you have to rev the car to 2500 rpm. This clutch set up is a little heavier than the other clutches, so it is going to take a little more rpm to get the car moving.. That is just the nature of the beast.
Why did they make it ?
You will have to ask spec that .
Is your system bleed thoroughly ?... U need about 3/8 of an inch worth of Throw from the hydro TOB to full disengage the pressure plate. if YOU DON'T HAVE THIS, your discs will drag and consequently you will have difficulty shifting the car.

I have used Spec stage 3 and 5 in all my mitsubishis with no problems other then a vibration in my eclipse but that was a balancing issue, not clutch. I wish i could help, but i dont know why it would do that. Mine drives good.
try shifting into 2nd a little sooner, don't let it bounce off the 2-step.
reving it up to get it to go is normal due to the weight and relatively aggressive bite the clutch has. it gets a lot better with some miles on it, I've got 6000 miles on my p-trim setup and its behaving fairly well.
