I still don't like it. I still have chatter after 6000 plus miles when I drive easy. When I drive spritedly, the clutch is awesome. I have not switched back to OEM yet because I have had back trouble (which I have had off and on for years) so that's not the best condition to tackle a clutch job with. I had planned to do it this week, and the same trouble is holding me back.

Unlike Matt's though, I have always had a grippy but smooth engagement. I have described the engagement to occur in about half the amount of pedal travel than my oem clutch did prior to the swap.

What I need is one of you tranny experienced young bucks to help me out for a day and swap my clutch. If anyone takes me up on it (I am in NW Houston), they can HAVE the ACT that comes out. It should be in good shape. I'll pay for gas, food and other miscellanea as well. I'll even pay for your hotel so you can drive back in daylight. (Kaleb???) Anyone interested to help me do the clutch, e-mail me privately please.

I don't know how else to find a mechanic who CARES about the quality of the fix to the same degree as I do.

TIA
John
