clutch problems
 
I don't know if anyone is running a stage 3 f1 clutch with an 11 pound flywheel but I'm srunning into problems with mine. I installed it 200 miles ago and don't get me wrong I love the clutch but if I let my car sit and run for a long period of time and I get in and try to get on it, the clutch starts to slip and chatter. Once I get going after a while it gets back to normal or even when I turn it off for little while it seems ok. Is this normal or do I have a defective clutch or pressure plate? It's weird bcuz I just installed it brand new!

Maybe you installed it wrong. it is cheap brand so can'texpect much. I've had the same in for 20k and I've never had problems.

I'm pretty sure I installed it right I torqued everything to spec. I just don't know why it works so good but if I idle for a while it starts slipping. I'm thinking the fins on the pressure plate are getting weak at a certain temp but that's just a stupid guess.

Mine was grabby but held well. I also had a 11lb flywheel. I replaced with FM1 due to it being a DD.
