Cool Sliping clutch

Ok i think i kiind of screwed my self here. I figured i was getting a good deal when i bought this a while back.........

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/F1-RA...QQcmdZViewItem

I just passed the 500 mile breakin point and it still doesn't brab right. It does fine during normal driving and even through the whole gear during boost. But whe i shift from 1st to 2nd (some times 3rd) at W.O.T. it doesn't even come close to grabing.

Am i fucked and need to get a new clutch or should i give it about 200 more miles?

Chris, I honestly do not believe in clutch break in period. To me, that is just a myth. I didnt want to say anything when you were at the house when you said the brand name of your clutch. This is one of those things that you should always invest pretty good on. Taking the tranny out to replace a clutch is time consuming....

OK this may be a dumb question but what is the major diference between a sprung and unsprung clutch?

I am trying to figure out exactly what i need.

unsprung hub will have no featherment...once clutch engages it's there. sprung will have some engagement depends on if you have a disc or pucked clutch aswell. and sprung is a little easier on your tranny.

I like clutchmaster better than competition clutch myself. I have had both obviously.

I have a b series competition stage 2 clutch for sale if you need it. I dont know if your b or d though.

stage 3 clutchmaster. For the track, you can go stage 4, that was my first one! Sucks for DD though. 3 is tolerable DD IMO.
