my SPEC stage 3 6 puck sprung hub clutch started to squeak during engaugement not long after the install. everything works okay, but it makes a friction squeak, similiar to tires peeling out. it only happens when I'm forced to spin the clutch a pretty good amount like in a 1st gear start. anyone have a similar problem?

if you don't spin the clutch, you must drop it or stall every time you try to take off from a stop.

what do you mean "spin the clutch"? are you referring to slipping the clutch a little bit before fully engage?

did you went through the "break-in" periond properly?

I can make it happen in any gear if i spin the clutch, but first is the only gear i usually spin it in.
