[QUOTE="maple, post: 15445805, member: 121859"] This car has fought me every step of the way it feels. Friday I gathered up all of the clutch components to hand them off to the friend of mine who would be doing the install for me. I elected to let him do it since I wanted nothing to do with laying on my back while the car is on jackstands to snatch out the transmission. So as I'm grabbing everything from a friends house, I noticed that the McLeod lightweight flywheel is no where to be found. I practically tore another buddies dining room apart looking for it since everything was sent to his house. Comes to find out it was at another friends house. Crisis averted! Glad I didn't have to spend another $400!!! Saturday morning I get a picture message from my buddy doing the install of the brand new series 2's from Late Model that are currently on the car. Like a jackass, I forgot to grab old shirts or towels to put between the wheels and the straps! DOH!!! [ATTACH=full]698016[/ATTACH] Hopefully they polish back out, if not, I'll have to get them refinished so that I can sell them to a buddy. [ATTACH=full]698017[/ATTACH] Here she is about to go under the knife [ATTACH=full]698018[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]698019[/ATTACH] Check out the life left on this raggedy spec clutch! Now before anybody destroys me from not being able to drive, I've only put MAYBE 300 miles on the car since I've owned it. [ATTACH=full]698020[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]698021[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]698022[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]698023[/ATTACH] While he was in there, I had him replace the rear main seal.
