I can. Wish I had my Textralia when I did my rear main seal swap two months ago. What clutch are you going with?

I'm not certain but it will have to be one that can handle some power and have good street manners. Do you have a shop?

I just got a textralia oz700 about two months ago but had no time to put it in because of school. No school for a few weeks so I'm gonna be doing mine as soon as my sunburn on my back goes away. I decided to go with a fidanza flywheel and selling the textralia billet steel flywheel. I heard a lot of good stuff about the textralias but I've been hearing a lot of good feedback on the monster clutches lately too.

I don't have a shop I've done every single thing on my car myself except the tuning which was done at CMS. I've seen your car there while I was there one time though. Very nice but you need a strong rear end in there to handle all that power.

Might as well swap that out so you don't have engagement issues later.

I plan on swapping the rear for a midwest 9 when I get to Fl next year. for now, just want to get it streeable again. I left messages with CMS but it seems they are busy. I will get with you as soon as I pick one up. I have to travel twice in July so it will have to be when I return.

my dad and i did the clutch on my car. the hardest part that took us about 2 hours was getting that one bolt on the top of the trans. we had extensions, swivels, you name it. other than that it wasn't too bad. a little hard getting the tranny back in, mostly because the car was only raised on jack stands. other than that, most of it is just patience.

I had access to a lift and did mine in about 4 hours. Taking my sweet time too. I did it a little bit longer on my back in my driveway before too. If I'm around when you do it I can help too, but I've only got about 2 weeks left in town here.

Ryne,
Mike eventually called me. If you can do it for that price I will definitely have you guys do it when I get back from NY. I will need a tow since it won't make it.
