Thumbs up Spec clutch and aluminum flywheel.. 04 SVT Focus

Donated the Focus to Spec last weekend for them to check out a new clutch and flywheel setup since one of their detail parts suppliers had quit producing a key component. Got the car back Friday nite and finally drove it around yesterday.

Pedal effort is increased over stock but not bad. Aluminum flywheel seems to let the little engine go through the rpms a lot faster.
Pedal travel is a LOT different compared to the stock setup (the Spec setup seems a lot shorter) but not bad once you get used to it.

Whew! Glad you like it. It has a little shake at first, but that is because you need to rev the aluminum flywheel up a little more. It will smooth out with more street miles.

I liked the feel too, once I was used to it. It has a perfect engagement poinit and quick-shifts are effortless. Keep me up to speed on everything!

Yeah when I first got in it yesterday I had a hard time driving it. Shelly hasn't driven it yet because she broke one of her toes Saturday morning. Since the cobra has an easier clutch she is driving it

That stereo is unbelievable. I would've bet money that it had been done professionally.

Definitely a thumbs-up!
