Houston Clutch install

Where are you Houstons guys going to get your clutches installed?? I know KevinD handles business when it comes to that but was hoping for some shops in Houston.

i recommend Carboy Racing. They have alot of experience with clutch intalls on evos. They installed my Exedy twin disc back in 2006 and did an excellent job.

Does KevinD do anything on the X yet? I was wondering if he could do my twin disc clutch. Also, during a clutch install, what all fluids will I need to have on me?

you need transmission fluid and TC fluid, and i wouldn't see why kevinD couldn't do your X it should be the same amount of work. PM him and ask

i have OEM diaqueen for the transfercase in stock, and i'm currently stocking AMSOIL manual tranny fluid for the transmission ( i was using pennzoil syncromesh before). so basically for a clutch install all you need to do is bring the car (i have ACT heavy duty clutches in stock for both the 8/9 and the X). xcaliber said he was going with the exedy twin, and thats perfectly fine too, just bring it with!

Hey Chris, I say carboys too. If you have it in first thing in the morning they will have you out by the end of the day. If not you can always ask Richard
