Grabby - the clutch does not allow any engagement slippage, and becomes very grabby when hot. It feels like it is either in or out, and nothing in between.

Noisy - When the car sits at idle, you will hear the discs rattling quite clearly from both inside and outside the car. When decelerating in gear, you will hear a loud buzzing that sounds like an exhaust pipe rattling outside the car.

Life - this depends upon driving habits and forcing the clutch to slip in everyday driving will contribute the greatest wear in the shortest time. A good friend of mine had the QM and I had the Tilton. They were virtually the same clutch in all aspects (we've driven and are familiar with each others cars). We both got out of these clutches (<5k miles) before we could determine overall clutch life.

In short, I found the clutch to detract from the driving experience, and IMO, the noise was bad enough to devalue the car. In return, I didn't observe any real street advantage. If you're not bothered by a noisy, rattling clutch that makes the car somewhat more difficult to drive cleanly, then YMMV.

Dan was being a little too nice and gave it to me with the purchase. Speaking of purchase, the price he sold it for was unbelievable. I remember when he had it up on craigs, i asked him if it was sold yet, he said it is about to be sold the next day; he already had some people with cash in hand ready to purchase it. Then a couple of week later, i sent him an email saying if he sold it, he told me he still have it, so i went down to his house, checked it out. A week later, its sitting in my garage, cant be any more happy.

BTW it's feels great in my 6 speed the best clutch hands down for racing.
