Glad to hear about the Gbox detent, my second gear does not pop out but the synchro is definitely on the way out.
BTW: Spec recommended a stage three clutch to me as well with a 3.6 motor and 986 gearbox.

I had several lengthy discussions with SPEC regarding my build, and was assured that Stage 2 would be more than adequate. Looking at the specs on Stage 2 vs Stage 3, the Stage 2 is good for 405 lb/ft of torque, while the Stage 3 is good for 508 lb/ft. Even putting down ~400hp, my motor doesn't even make 330 lb/ft of torque, so why would I need anymore than a clutch rated for 405? A stock 3.6 doesn't even make 300 lb/ft, so why do you feel the need for a clutch rated for over 500?
My clutch has NEVER slipped.
