I am so pumped to get it in.... have heard nothing but good about centerforce clutches I wish I could do it in the parkinglot out front of my townhouse row, but the managment told me that I cant do that kind of repair on their property...

no more slipping clutch, no more chattering Throwout bearing... started chattering a week ago...

I'm deff. gonna get my flywheel resurfaced... in all honesty, I dont even know if mine is stock or not... I know it has a Spec stage II in there now and then an aluminium driveshaft for some reason... yet stock gears....wtf?

i have an aluminum driveshaft and stock gears, whats the big deal? im waiting on money to do a complete rear end overhaul to 31 spline, 3:73's, and 5 lug axles with disc brakes. replaced my driveshaft with the ford racing kit cause the U joints were fkd up.

not a big deal really, the u joints may have gone bad on my car before I bought it... I have no idea what it saw, other than 1 accident...

its just if I had a choice between the gears and the driveshaft, I'd take the gears...

I'm not knockin it... I was just confuddled when I first saw it, cuz it seemed odd to have that done to it, when its a primerily stock car... I dunno



did the cap and rotor today and the coil...

which was a good thing, the cap was pretty worn and the rotor was too...

but now my igniton is all brand new basically, from the coil to the plugs...
