its friggin' great! this new clutch is absolutely brutal! i cant get it moving smoothly to save my life and the 1-2 shift usually causes you to ingest some teeth. the pedal feel is now like my friend's powerstroke f350 and it has stupid amounts of grabbing force. even my dad, who has been driving a 5 speed his entire life could not get the car to go smoothly. god this car is fun. just wanted to share.

Yea, I'd say it took me a good month to get take off in my stage 3 SPEC clutch down smoothly. I can shift that thing w/o letting off the gas and it still grabs! Prob real bad on it though....Hehehe
