Need a good mechanic to install a clutch in Austin, preferably in the north. Anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!

Thanks guys. Kevin D (Evolution Dynamics) has done all work on my car thus far but it's less convenient for me to drive up to Dallas than it has been in the past. But I'll still try to make the trip if I have to. San Antonio is much more convenient. Never heard of JMS though. Web site?

Take it to John Long's Shop

http://www.automotive-specialist.com/

I just had my Exedy twin done there a few weeks ago. You may be able to shop around and get a lower price, but just remember you get what you pay for. John Long has been a trusted mechanic of local racers for years in the Austin area. For me, the piece of mind knowing my car was in great hands was well worth a little more.

I need a retune and I'm looking at a switchable e85 setup at the same time. I'm throwing a intake cam code and I need it gone to pass state inspection. I was thinking of heading up there to get it done, but if you're willing to come down here to tune others as well that would be even better.
