good as a Hot Dicken's Cider.  But seriously.

      A LWFW shouldn't affect engine braking significantly.

     When I did me clutch recently I had the Luk OEM kit from Carolina
clutch. I ended up putting the old pressure plate back in (new one didn't
fit
and I needed the car) and just using the new disk, TO bearing and pilot. I
also cleaned the flywheel and PP with emery cloth. The clutch is very nice.
Plenty of grab. It actually takes some getting used to. The pedal is also
very very light compared to the old one.  Here's what I'm sure you want to
hear though...I did my first hard launch the other day. Before this the car
was hard to get going without bogging.  I got stuck in a situation where I
had to get ahead of the crowd at a light if you can relate. I reved it up to

4k and SMOOTHLY let out the clutch. It took off so hard it made me dizzy.
Now
the car is very easy to get away from a dead stop. I wouldn't want to do
this
regularly but I'm confident I'll have plenty of clutch when I need it. I
also
don't ride the clutch at stop lights so it should last a while. I left the
pro-con stuff off of my new trans. Don't really understand how important
this
is so I may have screwed up. I've got the bracket if I need it though.

Great, thanks Chad.

Anyone else have ANY feedback on Sach's / Centerforce, and 6spds???  C'mon,
like there's no BTDT out there on this subject.  I, er, my FRIEND, needs
info.  Bring it on.

Thanks.

P.S.  Bill M. suggested the possibility of a 6 spd GP.  My friend needs, er,
two (got to have a spare, right?), then Bill, and...?
