Can someone explain where the clutch line 'pill' is and should it be replaced when an SS line is used?

Its up by the slave cyl.... but... I wouldn't remove this pill unless you have flawless footwork. There is NO REASON to remove it.

Well... now that you mention it... my footwork is flawless

Is it literally a bean type thing that sits in the line? As in will it be obvious when I switch the lines out or will this be some tiny piece I loose... Thanks!

Maybe he replaced his axle seals when he did the job which isnt a very bad idea at all.

Optionals... shifter bushings and front engine mount.

I've got amost 10k miles on my twin and I've got around 10 passes at the strip. I love it.

R/TErnie is the advantage of the STM slave cylinder stopper??

I am definitely getting a fork stop given they are $90 well spent to prevent pulling the trans in the event of the fork overreturning and popping the TOB clip loose... I personally like MAPerformance's more than DTMs but it is more expensive.

Is that an inner seal on the ends of the axle or are you saying replacing the boots over the CVs? My car has so few miles, I would think the seals and gaskets can't be in too bad of shape.

Hello,

What do you think with the stock power evo can I re-use the oem Pressure Plate and just replace the disc with a new one with 15k miles in ? if the surface of the Pressure Plate find will work well with the new disc ?
