Default Ordered Textralia today!

Ordered from Byunspeed. I got the 0700 with the Billet steel. Was going to go for the aluminum option but was recommended against. Lot of money for a clutch so I hope all the hype is true. Will post info when I get it running and all the bugs worked out.

Was told that I would not like it for street driving due to need to have rpm's up higher than normal to get the car to start moving??

Byunspeed, but I ordered the 8lb flywheel also. Maybe that is why.

I have not sold an aluminum kit to anybody this month that I know of. You should call me instead of posting here because most likely I would have never caught this post.

EDIT: THIS PERSON NEVER BOUGHT AN ALUMINUM KIT FROM ME. DISREGARD HIS POST. Why he will not correct his post after I PM'd him I do not know. He had a shop call me up claiming that it was paid for through his credit card rather than callling me direct having me spend 30 minutes looking through old statements when I told him it was never ordered and still won't update his post. It was never ordered and he knows this.

Chatters a bit untill break in.

If you let it out a littler quicker than your used to on a stock clutch, it doesnt chatter.

The chatter= you trying to let it out slow. The clutch wants to grab, and it does !

quite frankly, it took me about 400 miles to get used to this thing, but once it broke in good, I love it. Easy pedal and grabs like a teenager on a prom date

Thanks man, what about the GM slave? Are you/did you ship that seperately?

Very cool, forget the pm then. Thank you very much. I know it was my first time dealing with you but it will not be my last. Very impressed, especially with the 100 or so inches of snow you guys got and you still make sure everyone was taken care of.

I agree. Don't try to slip it very much. It is a great clutch.
