How can you go wrong with billet steel? But is it a necessity? Where else could you spend the money that would take care of reliability?

On a side note, once you get the motor in, you're not going to want to pull it again just to swap a flywheel, so if you've got the monies and no where else to spend it, it looks pretty solid to me.

I can't change my clutch without pulling my motor. I assumed you had the engine out already, but from your other threads I see you've already had it in.

So, why are you confused again?

I've used the same one with my car as well. Hadn't had any problems with it at all.

Almost, I'd have to hang the motor from a hoist and unbolt all of the mounts to do it. There's just no way to get at the top transmission bolts, plus no clearance to slide the transmission out.

With the mckinney mounts I had to bang on the transmission tunnel just a little bit to keep the trans from rubbing.

If you know of another way, let me know. I plan on destroying my cheapo clutch this summer!!!
