nahh, we can get it done in one night... just cant have any salesman bothering us at our shop to do it.
The diff is being rebuilt by another speed shop and most of the simple things we'll do ahead of time= u joints, clutchfork, and a few bushings so it will be as simple and bolt in as possible... you know how that goes though

This is its third clutch(orignal GM(when i bought it), then a new GM one 16k ago and now finally a good Mcleod ), the morons that did the last clutch didn't know how to or balance the last DMF and the car drove fine... no vibrations, so i think i wont have a prob, plus the Mcleod twin and SMF is all prebalanced together before they ship it to you- what ever that means
