Default Finished clutch change..........What a difference!

I went with a SPEC stage III with carbon pads(good to 600 rwhp) and aluminum flywheel for my '94. I also installed a Hurst shifter. I need to put around 400 or so miles to break in the clutch before I can give an opinion on that, however with the aluminum flywheel it does rev much quicker. The only "negative"(just not used to, I guess) is the added transmission noise. I really love the shifter- huge improvement over stock. Will keep updated after break-in period. :D

I have never used the B&M shifter, but I think that it would be hard to beat the Hurst. :cheers:

Thanks for the post, I bought the same clutch from your and others recommendations. It should be going in next week, then the heads go back on. I haven't driven the Hurst but I love my B&M!
