Neat vids!! There was some good tips in there........Kinda wish they had addressed in a little more detail some of the issues with this procedure:

1) Getting that freakin upper starter bolt off when the factory K member is in place......That's a fun one the first time you do it and most writeups don't even mention it.

2) Upper bellhousing bolts can be a little tricky as well the first time....

3) How about the fairly severe clutch "chatter/shudder" that are commonplace with most Spec 3+ installs until a bit of the disc gets worn down???

4) Pilot bearing??? Most replace this with a clutch change and there's a bit of a procedure to this. But there may of been a section of the video that addressed this that's missing.

5) Input shaft change to 26 spline? The Cobra in the video apparently already had this in place, but many folks have to so this and a little how-to would of been great here.

6) He mentioned inspection of the TOB sleeve, but the factory part here is a semi-timebomb and there probably should of been a mention of possible replacement with an aftermarket unit here.

But, just beeing picky. Really liked the vids!
