If you slip the clutch a lot, you will notice the flywheel wear. If you don't do any higher RPM shifts, then a hang situation is generally not a concern.

SPEC uses a combo of different materials, carbon fiber, kevlar, etc, which is more 'advanced' that 'legacy' materials. And the PP is a more modern design as well. Being only like $35 more than the McLeod, it's a deal.

Summit carries them at a lower price as I recall.

If you wonder about the quality, homework it, I did. A lot of modern muscle people use them and swear by them.

Just saying. I don't get any money from the sale of them either.

I have never tried any of the newer McLeod diaphragm PPs, but know a few years ago they did update their' offerings & quality.

.
I haven't noticed hanging up so far. I don't do much slipping. As far as shift points, I aim for 5000 but it gets to 5500 at times.
