Default Has anyone got their Exoskel clutch kit yet

I ordered mine back in sept 15. and had a few issues but sponsor and i resolved it. but now i was told the kits are here in the US last monday, and they would be shipping but i have yet to hear anything of status. so if anyone of you have gotten a tracking number at minimal for their kits id like to know for my own personal information too. it seems as though everyone is getting the run around from who ive spoken to.

this post is by no means trying to bash any company or sponsor.. i just want to know whats going on.

Same here. Textralia told me that they would be balancing the clutches and they were supposed to ship by Friday. That was the message I got in a reply to a PM on Monday or Tuesday. No word since then. I sent another PM Friday but they have not read it yet.
Anyone else have any info?

Haven't got mine either. Talked to Young Friday and he had been told from Jarod from textralia that some of them should ship monday or tuesday. The clutches are in Texas right now for balancing and they have been having trouble with floods over there so that might be holding them up some. They need to come on though, it has been a healthy wait already and I need to get the car back together.

I do have to say. I am happy I am not in a big hurry for mine since I blew my damn motor. But it would be nice to have it before I am up and running again.

i'm patiently waiting also. i am getting alittle antsy on seeing what the 408 will be like though.after waiting 9 months to get my car back from the paint/body shop 3 months later i spun a bearing now it's been about 5 more months and i've still not got it up and going so i've driven it about 3 months in the last year and a half
well enough of my self pitty,back to the topic.i'm sure that sweet clutch is well worth the wait.

I know the guys at Textralia are at the SEMA show this week. I spoke with one of the guys this morning. They've been working very hard to get these out to everyone. I've been doing some testing with the Exo-Skel for them and I'm sure within a few days to a week or so ya'll sould be getting some information from the guys at Textralia.

Believe me I know first hand how hard it is to wait on this but I know everyone thats had to wait patiently will be very, very happy with the end result. A clutch that has stock pedal feel and engagement, is enjoyable to drive on the street, and can take a beating at the track...I know its tuff guys but it'll be worth the wait!!!

I'm almost positive the clutch assemblies are here in the US at the machine shop in Texas finshing up on the final balancing and close to being ready to ship...I'll try to check on this for everyone just to make sure. I know they want everything "perfect" before they ship out to customers...balancing/post height/clamp load, etc...I know its a pain in the *** to wait but that seems to be the case in many of the things we do with our cars.

Nothing has shipped yet by my tracking number though. All it says is billing info recieved. Doesn't show anything has actually shipped, just a label made. I'm hoping it comes on so I can get my car together for a track rental.
