Ha ha ha... Rattle rattle (or not so much with the sprung hub) Verrry nice!

I miss my six-speed. I gotta get another one.

I just got back from the install. All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!! The peddle effort compared to the lever type pressure plate is unbelievable, it feels less than stock. I could not be any happier.

What model is that one?

06trx

I couldn't tell you what model it is , I called Peter at Southbend told him that I broke one of the 4 fingers that disengages the pressure plate , and that is the plate he sent me. He said I wont be able to break this one.

Which hydraulics do you have? stock or heavy duty replacement

06trx

I have the upgraded hydros. , but I don't think you would need them with this setup. I got some miles on it on the way to work, it feels like there is less than half the chatter on take off. I still can't beleve how mutch easier the clutch is to press .

He did the same thing for me a couple weeks ago. I called him and told him i broke the fingers on the pressure plate and he told me he had a fix for it. Got it installed and i swear the pedal pressure is less than stock.

I was wondering about the diaphragm instead of the 4-finger plate... like the Borg-Warners.

coblanchard

So, is the diaphragm the same plate load as the lever style?

06trx

As far as I know it is the same plate load. I told Peter what I had ,and this is what he sent me. After about 200 mi. on it , I still love the darn thing!!
