Default RXT twin finally working....FOR NOW

Well, after trans R&R'd 9 times, Trans went through by Tick once, (everything perfect) and clutch going back to McLeod twice. First issue was I got a kit with a first design gold ring that made the discs it the floater straps. Then went back the first time and they said nothing was wrong with it. The returning it a second time, They finally claimed the pressure plate was faulty, So with this 2nd return they sent a new PP, new discs and surfaced and rebuilt the floater
.
Got it in today and seems to hold pretty good. But the soft feel pedal is gone. I guess they decided to UP the plate pressure to make it work and hold. Now it feels like a single disc Stg 3.
So my review is a 0/10.

I've installed a few Monster twins in other guys cars and they have no issues. But I figured the RXT would be a good setup since their cars were not intended for what this car is set up for which is a 3 class car. Drag, AutoX, Roadrace. Guess we'll see how long this lasts.

What on earth would lead you to install and remove something 9 times ?

Part of the process. Checking, replacing, measurements, It's actually very easy for me. I can have it out in about 45 min if the console removal is involved. 30 min otherwise. going in takes about 45 min doing it alone.
It's nice working at a GM dealership. Lifts, trans jacks and all my tools are there. The worst part is having to trailer the car there and push it into a bay by myself.

Sucks to hear you had so much trouble, at lest its working now, and you don't have to keep messing with it.

I'd be willing to do it one more time for a really good deal on a Monster. LOL
