Default Finally finished the 6 speed conversion

What a bitch it was but all ended up well. Took about a day and a half, I went with the monster stage 3 clutch and slowhawk built my t56. I love the difference and the car drives incredible. If anyone ever has a q about the swap let me know

Nice job. I would love to do that to my daily driver. 6 speeds are so much better in a street car. Did you get your car onto the dyno ?

I still have to do a few stupid things before it hits the dyno, can't wait. And I used the stock master for now, i will switch it out eventually I was just too impatient to finish the car. I def. liked the auto but i didnt like going through tranny's every few months.

You don't need the tick with the Monster clutch.

Until I hear some real feed back I treat that clutch like any other, 1st I heard about them was in the fall.

Any info on why they are better then then Spec's, GM LS7's, Zoom, Ram's of the world.

* even like you said back in Dec, you really cant get a guage yet, any of those 2 cars put any signifigant milage or track time on it??

I did a fair amount of research and talked to alot of people, some that went from other clutches to the monster, and every one preferred the monster. You really cant beat it for the price and quality. Drivability is great and it will take a beating. I've driven my friends cars they have cheap ebay clutches and you can tell the difference

I was about to get on it and saw hudsons finest sitting across the street lol. ever seen the blacked out pewter LT camaro w/ the decals rolling around the hudson area? who ever it is is pretty chill and usualy waves.
