frydguy79 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 i thought i'd start the New Year out right , so i went in today and put my new clutch in the car this morning, it took me about 3 hours to do it at work,, it is awsome to have all the right tools it's the track package unit with the heavier flywheel , i did not drive it yet tho it was 6 degrees this morning hopefully this spring will give me some nice days to get it broke in, my 4th stock clutch just could not handle the torque i got from the guys @ http://store.bvmperformance.com/default.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawdude Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I had mine (RXT) installed yesterday. Way different feel than OEM. Effort is much easier than OEM. Engaged quicker than stock - others say after break-in, pedal engages higher up more like stock. In first, when it's not chattering, it's grabbing. I heard that stops too. Once it's in second, it feels fine. I'm trying to put 500 city miles on it before next Saturday's Test n Tune. Can't wait to drop the hammer.

dvups1 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 [/What's involved on the install? quote] I would like to know as well. I am about to try this job this weekend. If you have any tricks or tips that will help the novice, I would certainly appreciate it. Thanks David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
