Message	ever seen on tt.net. Funny, my clutch/downpipe post got 3 replies :::shrug::: ;) I had my first experience with this back in March and it went pretty well. I didn't break any bolts, but I broke the pilot bushing when trying to stab the tranny. :( Almost broke my spirit, but after I drove the car it remedied that. Anyway, congrats on the successful clutch change! It's definitely a learning experience. I only have two words for you: Super Splits!!! http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=1557689 They are mandatory next time you drop your tranny! :) Dustin
