I will explain the question to that,
T-brand is the clutch that needs to be adjusted three times with shims and yes you will have to pull the clutch out to do this.
RPS doesn't need to be adjusted since the clutch diameter size is a huge 10" the movement on the diaphragm is allot more in comparison to a 7 1/4" clutch diameter. Besides T-brand doesn't even have this available yet.
Cheers,

PS: I believe that this rebuild price will not go up, furthermore is still way cheaper than any other twin disc rebuild cost!
...that some how doesn't make it better that we were originally told $400. The original price was nice, $600 makes a different clutch altogether more of an option... but hey, it's your product and customer service...

It just keeps bringing my chances to buying this clutch even more slim. How often do you think the clutch would need to be rebuilt on a 300-350WHP evo?
