    Default I am clutch - Finally! ClutchNet review and funny pictars

    Finally got the right clutch yesterday and put it in today. Can't thank Multiplex enough for letting me use his space! To review this clutch setup, I'd say its definitely streetable, though maybe not for someone who likes a real stock driving car. First gear can be a little jerky depending on where you grab the clutch - theres not much room in the travel for slipping it, but I can foresee it being easy to slip from up high in the RPM. The grab from gear to gear is much more positive and connected - no more kind of "clunking" around. Not sure if this is important to anyone, but I am a fan of rev-matching downshifts and there is less forgiveness in the clutch for rev matching. What I mean is that if you are clutch-in and blipping about to let the clutch out, if your revs aren't pretty close to where they should catch the lower gear, you'll know. With a stock more slippy clutch it can be somewhat forgiving but definitely not any more.

    The pedal weight is not too hard really - Multiplex (Jay) drove it RIGHT as I backed it out and agreed it was pretty average in heaviness... however after doing about 60 miles on it it did get only slightly heavier, though that may just be because I was pushing it down so much on the way home and my leg was saying F* you. Would I want to drive it in bumper to bumper traffic? Maybe. Every day of the week? Not so much.

    It held all the way in 5th gear as I accelerated without doign "go to jail" speeds. Very happy with that.

    Now for the silly pics - I like making stupid faces, so here they are -
