Also, anyone know how much fluid a T-5 holds, I'm puting a clutch in tomorrow and I want to change/fill the fluid.

The Stage I is comparable to the Centerforce DF which is stronger than any of the FRPP clutches. The T-5 holds just about 2 1/2 quarts.

None of the local shops around here carry the Spec clutches, but you can buy direct from Spec or any of a bunch of other web based shops, you can do a search on the corral and find about a dozen. Spec website is www.specpwr.com

thanks. I'd consider a spec, but I need one tomorrow. Doesn't the trans take ATF?

1st off; no splines on pressure plate only on clutch disk.
maybe you're talking about pressure plate fingers where the throw-out bearing rides on? spec probably good deal. but would not use better value for sales pitch, cheaper doesn't mean same as value. you get what you pay for. think about tremec 3550. $1250 or t-5 $1150 which is better deal?. not tryin/ to be smart *****.tryin to see why you think it's better deal, is it money or preference? if t-5 was better deal/value no one would buy tremec 3550. do you get what I mean? all mater of opinion.
