Default Lindsey Racing GREAT customer service!

I recently replaced my clutch with a SPEC stage 2 and a SPEC SP44S LW Flywheel. Myself and another Rennlister were having trouble with the signal from the FW due to the OD on the SPEC FW being 1/8" larger. Because we had to shorten the sensor pin height to gap it properly, we were getting signal interference from the FW.

Dave Lindsey wrote a detailed tutorial regarding the solution that can be found here.

These guys have become my go to vendor for new parts because of their fantastic tech support.

Thank you Dave Lindsey🙏

I have spent way more then I will ever admit to anyone with Lindsey Racing for my track monster. They have always been outstanding to work with.

Great to hear! I just placed my second order with them after being so pleased the first time. Fast shipping. Knowledgable staff. Inventory on hand.

Is there a reason why you can't call them?

+1 on customer support. I've spoken to Dave numerous times about their products.

International shipping may be some of it. But yeah, you really got to call them. My last order was in my mailbox and still showed pending on their site. I'll be honest, they are more phone guys than internet guys. But both Dave and Mike are super helpful and will spend the time to really talk to you on the phone!

I've bought from them like many others, have always been happy. Dave has talked with me on the phone on his time without the expectation of a sale, simply to help me with advice/trouble shooting. a RARE thing these days.

It is best to call, Having placed weekly orders to build my race car over the past 6 months I will say that the Normal parts Girl had to leave because she had to attend to Family issues. They are Training a new Girl now. Dave and Mike are still taking care of their customers very well. Very happy with their service.

I've had more trouble with Lindsey in the last 8 months than I have in the previous 8 years. Mostly little things, but they also directed me to fry my M-tune chip board and wanted me to pay full retail to replace it.

PS dont expect the spec stage 2 to be any more robust than a stock clutch. I installed mine over the winter, and the disc just failed this past weekend. Not exactly what I was looking for when I "upgraded". Apparently the kevlar is sensitive to temperature and if it overheats once its completely finished. Sending it off to South Bend to get it rebuilt.

That happened to me too, i had a SPEC stage 3 disk (complete setup) that I took out of my 89 Turbo-s to put into my track-car (Going back to stock on the 89). I put a stage 2 disk in instead of the stage 3-and it Chatters like hell, one time downshifting it chattered so hard my rear view mirror fell off.. Anyhow, Everything seemed fine till I over-boosted the car and at 40 mph with posi and Toyo's something had to slip and it was the clutch, afterwards it would not hold 10 psi of boost. This was the night before I was going to Watkins Glen with the track car. I ended up at 9:30 at night taking the clutch out and putting in my stage 3, had a friend helping me, just to make it to the track the next day. We finished the clutch job at 12:30AM , It was a Record setting clutch change for me on a Turbo...(3 hrs) Im NOT impressed with spec at all. I have a stage 2 in my 86 turbo and really have not had any issues, other than my wife doesn't like driving it becasue its hard to take off at a light because there is not much reciprocating weight on the clutch and can stall the car easily.. So now I have a Stage 2 Frisbee, and it doesn't even fly well.....Going back to a cup clutch setup....

Don't throw away that spec disc! The 930 sport disc is like $500.... Southbend will put a good lining on that spec disc for about $150.
