Default Nitro Dave's Performance fixed Clutch problem

Nitro Dave's had clutch installs a few weeks back for $150. That alone was great. Well after installing my Spec 3 I had problems shifting into any gear. First thing I did was replace Hydraulics. That didn't help. I then realized that the Clutch kit didn't have shims I called Spec and they sent some out. Nitro Dave's said swing by we'll throw them in no charge...that means Removing drive shaft, pulling the tranny, removing slave, and installing shims, and putting everything back together at no charge. After a friend Nick took the car and shims to Nito Daves they discovered that the pressure plate was buckling and and not working right. Nick bought another Spec clutch kit from LG Motorsports at a decent price and Nitro Daves installed it still at no cost. They put in extra hours and stayed late. Didn't except Nick's invitation to lunch and my car is shifting great and the clutch is awesome. I am extremely satisfied with the crew over at Nitro Dave's Performance in Waco,Tx. Matt at TTP motorsports was the original vendor on the first Spec 3 clutch kit and he gladly agree to refund me once Spec recieved the faulty one. Dave Norton at Spec was also very helpful.

It pays off buying from the sponsors on this board.
Thank you for taking the time to read

That's the way Dave is.

Now, some of you guys need to go there and do paid installs. We can't let Dave's generosity drive him out of business!
