So my clutch was pretty much fried on the coupe so I picked up a used xtr stage 3 with a couple hundred miles on it but when I dropped the tranny and swapped out the clutch now I get this nasty vibration and chattering from it I changed all 3 components but did not have any resurfaced. Im about to pull the trigger on this http://www.ebay.com/itm/F1-STAGE-2-C...ht_3130wt_1215 ..........any opinions or should I just have the current xtr components resurfaced.

 

Def go with a new clutch, pressure plate and flywheel.

 

So whT do you think about the combo in the link i posted

 

I have the xtr stage 3....I actually got it installed less than a year ago...and had the whole thing done along with a new tranny...(the old one was fried)......AT THE DEALER!!!! And mine chatters like an ostrich teeth in Antarctica and I was told that was normal...at least the chatter I have...I guess its similar to getting a one piece aluminum drive shaft on some cars...in any event um.... it has lessened ......A LOT however its there at idle....and after 1200 it goes away...I hope I got to you before you pulled the trigger.....and btw I would resurface.....

 

You guys are comparing a bottom level clutch system to an oem. Number one the stage 3 is a 6 puck clutch compared to a full face disk. Also any time you go away from a dual mass flywheel like the oem some chatter will be normal. Also the fact you had it installed at the dealer has no bearing on anything.

 

.....not to be angry..... I simply put the dealer thing so you guys knew that it wasn't caca Joes shop located in east Hialeah and papos back yard.....that's all....

 

Not angry but sometimes I would trust caca Joes shop in east Hialeah over some of the high school drop out working for the dealer. At least Joe probally has some real world experience and is not guessing based on a work flow chart. Prime example I sent a customer of mine to the dealer who needed a new tcm, they told him he needs a new tranny. Why because its easier than diagnoising the real problem and they can rape him with no lube.

 

That is a classic example of how dealers rape the customer. Only time I been to the dealer is to buy a car.

 

LOL no i had it done at the dealer however.....i dont pay for it as such..........although...i understand what you mean ....
