These posts read just like the Exedy ones did a year ago. A hand full of guys say the clutch is the shiznit and that's all it takes for people to jump on the bandwagon. Hopefully the new Aussie clutch turns out to be a winner, however it is *much* to early to declare that clutch superior.

I have been looking for the vacuum switch but havent found one. I've been so busy trying to get my car back + my applications for grad school are due by the 15th that I havent remembered to check the model number either.
I'll take a pic of everything I have and get you that model #.
. No big hurry on my end my car is in many pieces, I just needed to know if I should keep looking...

I thought the web site said you dont need to break the clutch in. Just install and go drive it.

EVERY clutch should be broken in....The life of the disc and the ultimate gripping power the clutch can provide is heavily diminished without some stop and go driving to "lap" the friction material to the pressureplate/flywheel surface....much like brakes need to be "bedded in" when they are new for best results.
