About the abruptness of the SPEC! Hey! If you Want an OEM, 'not sure if I'm stepping on the clutch or not', then Don't by SPEC.
But....................If you want to feel when the clutch engages & disengages, & if you value Drive-able Performance, before OEM (I don't know if I've shifted, or not), Get the Spec.
It all comes down to how much clutcht disk slip you want!
The SPEC III disk that I have, is a puck design. It's Perfeftly driveable, BUT, you can not let your grandma let the clutch out. Any Guy who Rows his Boat, can live with a SPEC III. But if you what to whine about clutch pressure, By a RICER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
