i had a K.C and didn't care for it too much, a lot of people on here also don't like it, i would get a spec, i got the spec stage 2 and love it, it's $300 but you could always get stage 1. but if your heart is set on th k.c. then good luck, I would also recommened an adjustable clutch cable and quadrent. A pilot bearing as well which comes in the spec kit but not k.c, and a new shift fork and pivot ball are pretty cheap as well, like $30 for the fork. You will need to rent a pilot bearing puller to remove the bearing, while your at it a rear main seal and driveshaft seal will make sure no leaks, a steel bearing retainer for $30 but be the first thing i got.Sounds like a lot but if you have to replace these down the road the labor will be more than the part is now.

I wouldnt get a new shift fork, it doesnt easily wear out. Neither does the pivot ball. When I put my TKO in at 100k on my 87 GT. I used the same fork and ball as stock. Just my .02
