Bob,
Yeah, but the real issue was not with the installation but with the dumb-A$$ owner . The dynamics of this FW are WAY different than with the DM FW. You need a bit more RPM when engaging clutch, a who different feel. I had a chance to drive it some more yesterday and I am getting the hang of it. The guys at Carolinia Clutch said engagement would be different and would get better as the clutch breaks in.

I am glad to hear that you are getting used to the feel of the new clutch and flywheel. I have been standing by to do a reinstall.

How are your rear tires holding up?

That's right, you weren't able to stick around to hear it start up!

The quick wind up in all gears is really noticable, but I can say that the synco's rattle pretty good once the gear oil gets hot. Love the performance difference but I may look into getting a second trany and send to Bill B. to work his magic on.

Yes I was late. Us civil servants sometimes have to work weekends. I did arrive before the job was done. Sorry I missed you.
