When is it? i'll go after my clutch goes in. I cant even barely get my car out of the driveway its so bad, On top of that driving it on the streets now has become dangerous.

Good news though today i got my clutch and flywheel in.

Exedy stage II racing clutch #05952
Exedy 12lbs flywheel # MF04

Hopefully i can get it put in this friday or saturday.

F****** sucks not being able to drive your car.

I'm switching from Quaker state Horsepower 10-30w "Which i really liked and its a great oil" to Royal purple 10-30w.

Going from 6+ a quart to 8+ a quart kinda sucks but i've read Royal purple is an excellent motor oil, I dont mind spending a bit more for it.

Anyone else using the Purple?

Plus I always put Zmax when i change oil, since i've owned the car.

So my oil change costs me about $80 or so filter included.

How much do y'all spend on oil changes & what kind of oil/additives do y'all use?

Ok so I'm getting my new clutch put in tomorrow morning, thanks to Kasey & Chris.

Here's the deal after it's all done i will get some picture's up of the old clutch and flywheel condition, mind you this clutch has been in the car for 62k and has been drag raced, auto crossed, 2-stepped & driven hard everyday since 2006.

It started slipping at 58k

I cant wait to see what it looks like.

Becareful with that clutch, I had it and I broke my transfer case with it (my fault), and it lasted only 30k miles or so. Guess it depends on the driver too.

Oh i belive it.

I knew after i first drove it not to bang gears or i would be taking it right back for repairs, Needless to say i shift very slow and smooth with this new clutch.

Had a clutch kinda like this one in my old car and shaved most of the teeth off second gear

As for the life of the clutch i think i will make it last for a good bit, hell i had the stock one last 60k+


But thanks for the concerns, your 100% right i will becareful with it
