Default How long until?...

So how long before a company makes an entire clutch engagement system replacement for our cars? ** cough cough...sponsors **..

I am so freakin tired of having trouble with my bullsh!t pedal, I would even consider a nice basic cable setup!

I love the stick, but man it makes me want to set my car on fire at the same time!!

While I am in favor of the old style clutch setup, I finally got mine right and I really couldn't be happier. I was so upset at one point that I actually considered selling my car. Glad I didn't. Who knew a stock master would fix everything? Just a quick story, I had my tranny rebuilt by Six Speeds Inc, put in a Spec 3, new slave, flywheel, Ram Adj M/C, and drill mod. Adjusted and played with the Ram and could never get it to do right. Sold the Ram and got a Mcleod. It failed on the first try. Went to OReilly's got a stock master and I no longer have shifting issues, the pedal doesn't feel soft every other time and now I can shift at 6k like a knife though hot butter. Yaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy finally.

It's all about technology....clearly hydraulic systems are more "advanced" than cable systems....

$80 bucks and it works better than the Ram and the Mcleod ( I've bought both ). Go figure.

I still have my Mcleod. I ordered a Wilwood rebuild kit that I heard was alot better than the Mcleod one. So when it gets here, I'll rebuild it and try it again.
