Default extreme clutch

just got my extreme clutch installed today, and i am very satisfied. going from a stock one that slipped heaps to a brank new heavy duty one is a big difference, im still not use to the point were it grabs at and find myself either dumping it and doing schreechys or not enough revs were it wants to stall. also it is heaps lighter on the pedal than my stock clutch was, cranks cherps in second easy as its a great improvment.

it's pretty easy to do the clutch yourself, we did Dougs (sphell) in about 3 hours, and i know people who can do it a fair bit quicker. Just depends how fast you can undo bolts. :P I have felt 2 extreme clutches and they have both felt great. My next clutch will deffinately be an extreme.

Walkinshaw what exacly did the $300 include ? that's bloody cheap.
