Hat's off to Tom @ Carolina Clutch...

He's a great guy to deal with selling a good product.



It took me a couple months to get around to putting it in, but as of Independence day my 7200lb hot rod now has a decent clutch (Luk 05-118).



The install went fairly well, with only a few expletives to accompany the normal cuts bruises and scrapes. Getting the crossmember out was the hardest part. It took a little effort and a 4lb persuader.



Pedal pressure is considerably lighter and smooth, takes some getting used to. Now that it's breaking in, I've noticed it's a little finicky backing up, but that may just be technique. So far the only bad thing I've noticed is that those stock Michelins smoke real eazy now.

Congrats. It will be nice for the Manuals to have more options other then SBC or Mitchels. Maby the price for clutches will start to come down a little.

Rkohn - as the miles accumulate on mine, the engagement keeps getting smoother - it takes time to fully seat in a clutch disc of this type - be patient, it just keeps getting better!



AND, it's sorta nice to have an extra $400 or so left over to spend on OTHER neat goodies!
