Thumbs down Ive had it with my clutch!!!!! TIME TO REPLACE, HELP

cluth pedal sticks, cant speed shift...gears grind at higher RPMS...
i realize that there is a drill method..but im ready for a whole new better system....

what does everyone recommend? i want to be able to shift hard with no problems...i'd like an adj master cylinder so i can adjust the pedal and the shifter....and i want a bangin cluth that'll hold and that will engage/disengage with NO problems...money is not an issue...well you knwo what i mean

THANKS!

Well I like the McLeod twin because it releases in a short amont of pedal travel. Most I've seen is w/in an inch or so of travel. The coil sprung pressure plate is the difference IMO, Vs the diaphram spring plate everyone else uses.
I like it for powershifting , works great in my case.
Just replace everything, do the drill mod on the line, & your set.

Maybe its just me, but I think that a spec4 and Mcleod twin-disk are overkill for a bolt-ons car .

Look into the Cartek clutch comes with a adjustable master and stands up to serious abuse. www.cartek.net
