So the other weekend I installed a Spec ST twin disc clutch, aluminum flywheel, upgraded TOB, upgraded TOB retainer sleeve, and 26 spline input shaft. Now before the installation I read up on installs and tons of people kept complaining about the so called Bitch Bolt. Well let me just say it took me maybe 15 seconds to remove it ;-)
You're looking at like 2 feet of extensions LOL
Heres everything dropped, which didn't take too long at all with just a floor jack and some wrenches. The only bolts that didn't want to cooperate were the ones that bolt the H-pipe to the manifold.
And heres some eye candy! Too bad I'll never see this again (hopefully, or unless I upgrade to bronze forks, carbon synchros and such).
This thing is soooo soft it's incredible! It's hard to believe it has such a high torque rating:rockon: except for the price
It's about as stiff as a 99-04 GT clutch, which is pretty crazy; much stiffer than the pos single disc clutch that was in the car, which wasn't broken in properly by the past owner :fm: Right now i'm breaking it in, so I haven't gotten on it, but from what I can tell the clutch is pretty nice. There is some chatter which should be expected from a twin disk, and unless something changes during the break-in process, it's going to be hard to slip this clutch, but we will see. I'm not used to being able to easily hold in the clutch while at a long stop light :bowdown: Once it's fully broken in I will report back with any changes, but so far I really like the clutch. Just wanted to give my opinion on the clutch because I know a lot of people are in the market for a high-hp withstanding systems and many don't want a clutch that will break your leg. I also wanted to share how I got the bolt out, because honestly I spent more time connecting every extension I could find, than getting the bolt out. Theres tons of space to move the ratchet freely when you can reach from all the way behind the transmission :dancenana:
