Default Got new clutch installed!

Ended up using an exedy stage 2 clutch , and lightweight flywheel. Clutch feels good but can't tell much diff. with flywheel. Can't wait to get back to the track. Fixed it last night and got two races while test driving, it was awesome.

are you not going to take it easy on the clutch before you start getting on it and dropping it and everything?

Took about 3 or 4 hours, but had a lift and air tools. Doing it in a drive way would be a real bitch. I've done one before this, but it went pretty smooth, if you do yours just make sure you unbolt your slave cly. from your tranny, and you wont have to bleed the sys.

when i did my trans on jackstands, it took me 7 hours working slow by myself. it was pretty easy. i also did some other stuff that added to that time a bit.

If you can do it there i think thats the way to go. You shouldn't have any problems. Let me know how it goes or if you have any specific questions.
