I put it in yesterday. I pulled into the craft shop at 1300, and I was driving out at 1800. Not too shabby, especially considering I didn't have ANY help! ;) Now for the break-in period.

Congrats, 5h isn´t bad!!

It took me about 12h to change the clutch on a 2000 Camaro 3.8 this weekend... that §+*§&"%§ internal clutch slave cylinder makes everything so much more complicated IMO...

I don't know anything about that one, Chris, but I'm sure you're right! ;)

Hopfully, the next time you pull that transmission, it will take you some time. Maybe about 2-3 years before you have to tear into it again :wink:

Well, 3rd gear is still grinding, so it will probably be sooner than that. I just don't want to leave it with anyone else. I will rebuild it when I learn how. I will use Viper internals.

Just catching up on some reading and realized your now on your 5th clutch in two years :) Push shift and release, don't hold half way. J/k Jack you know your part of the germany unlucky crowd. John, Me, you and Dave were the down more than running group.

Glad to hear that. Maybe this is the one that stays in for a while!

Ryan, when I replaced my clutch earlier this year, I neglected to change the flywheel, so it ate the clutch up faster. :( That Spec stage III sure does bite though! :shock:
