Is it supposed to feel this light? If so thats insane. Way lighter than stock. Other than that, have to break in the clutch.
Speedometer isn't working and its damn near impossible to get into reverse so my mechanic is going to fix linkage monday. Also have a cel, but car seems just fine. V can't check it out right now though.

Absolutely love mine. It is a touch firmer than stock. Shorter throw as well. What master cylinder do you have?

They probably left the reverse lockout connector off. It's on the top passenger side of the trans. You can reach it, barely, without taking everything off.

What info you looking for? The best advice I can give is to call McLeod. Their top engineer (dont remember his name; maybe Lee?) is very knowledgeable. He can recommend the best parts for your needs. Then contact one of the CF vendors to get a great price.

Does the Mcleod include ARP pressure plate or FW bolts? I see some list that they were included, but have a feeling they were included by other person or co.

Hm I'm not sure if I should be worried or not. When I rev it up some to getthe car going from a stop, between 1500 and 2000 rpm, and let off the clutchyou can hear the disc spinning through the shifter fairly loudly. Dunno if this is the clutch skipping that I'm hearing or what. I do have a short shifter with out asmuch sound deadening.

Probably left the speedo un plugged or pulled the wires of out the connector like I did (easy fix if you have a soldering iron). Reverse lockout is probably also disconnected.
