Default Re: Clutch replacement

Years ago I had a Sunbird (glorified Vega) with a SBC and four-speed. It won a lot of autocrosses including SW DIV SCCA divisional & coupla state trophys that would eat clutchs, about one a year. Maybe because it had a super low first gear so I always started in second (was faster).

How the 6speed feels so much like that Muncie, I do not know but granny low and at 70 am looking for the next gear that isn't there. Had a Fiero GT like that also.

Just got the Crossfire and is supposed to have had a new clutch about 30k ago but I never know.

Interesting thing is that all of the links for clutches trace back to the same Ohio manufacturer. That is known as being a Sole Source but seems like a reliable on (parent also owns *** bearings).

Was more replying that it does not look difficult other than being a juice clutch so will need to be bled after. Nice write up, the FSM did not mention having to remove the exhaust system which is always fun.

Am looking for a way to change to about a 2.60:0 rear gear.
