Review of my 85,000 mile Monster level 2 single disc

After 85,000 miles I've been completely satisfied with this clutch along with the tick adjustable master cyclinder. I've driven cars with other brand clutches and out of all them I prefer this brand. Reason I am writing is the clutch has come to the end of its life finally starting to slip. My next purchase will be a Monster level 3 single disc.

I don't remember the price when I bought the first one 5 years ago, but currently the clutch package retails for $780 for the Level 2 and $730 for the level 3. I didn't do the install so I don't know. This time I will be doing the install.

Sounds like you certainly got your money's worth out of it lol. After two level 3's came apart on me I won't ever run another one of their clutches.

Install isn't bad at all. Get a couple feet worth of extension for the top trans bolts and drop the crossmember to get more room and it's a breeze.

I jumped in on the $100 off deal in May

I did level 1 with lightweight flywheel, remote bleeder, and already had Tick master. I'll be happy if I get 85,000 out of it, the car will have 263,000 miles by then.

It's been driven pretty hard, a lot of interstate miles, dozen drag strip passes before I installed the headers, i don't know how else I could have used the clutch any better to have a longer life and anti rice guy has been a passenger and got to ride in it.
