that includes the slave

the master cylinder is NOT INCLUDED

you should already have one unless you have been running a McLeod and threw the stock one away; they are around 115 most places

Dayum I just drove the car home with this clutch and I like it already.

Pedal pressure is WAAAAAAAAY softer than my RAM. I am still getting used to how soft it is. Engagement is pretty quick. I was told it would get a lil longer once the clutch wears in. Absolutely no chatter. I stopped in a parking lot and did about 30 stop and go's without any issues.

As far as driveability goes, this thing is awesome.

Hopefully, I will have it broken in and everything together to take it to the track this weekend. That will be the real test.

I bought my clutch off Pete here in Australia around 18 months ago. 40,000+miles and plenty of ¼ mile passes during. I pulled it out last week and replaced the pilot bearing due to a noise issue. I looked at the clutch and it was still good enough to put back in. So I did. If you blokes are getting the same clutch as I have, you'll love the drivability.

I'm in for sure if there is one. I need a clutch very soon. From what I've seen, I'd like to go with this one.

I just got this clutch today. Check my post at the top of the page. I'll hopefully be installing it this weekend and head to the track the weekend after Easter.

One guy over here must have put 30+ ¼ mile passes on this clutch during our LS1 Drag Nationals this weekend. The car weighs almost 2 ton and ran 10’s at 138mph all weekend… He just kept hot lapping the car with zero issues. The best part is, his wife can drive the car for the first time after 3 other brands of clutches. That’s saying something.

Could you get this fellow to post up? It's not that we don't trust you....but like the old Soviet saying goes: "Trust, but verify."

I'll get Shaun in here later as it's currently 10:00pm here.

In the mean time you can read this;

"Big Shaun also impressed, overcoming some initial setup problems and constant almost full track wheelspin on his 8.5inch slicked Vortech supercharged SS with a 10.95 at a staggering 138.7mph. Great stuff and king of the 'street bodied' mph all weekend."
