Definately hold hard, grabs harder, and pedal pressure is up for sure. I have no intention of going to something else...........BUT when we flipped over all the presssure plate and disks the flywheel side of the intermediate plate had a gouge in it, about 3" long, yes in the path of the clutch material............ SUPER choked about that right now. took pictures of it, at that point there was no turning back. the clutch had to be installed. the stock unit was finished, it could not go back in. I'm going to have to call someone about that.........totally unacceptable for a brand new unit at a cost of $2100.
