well everything is bolted in and good to go today one of the slave cylinder bolt holes is totally stripped not too happy about it but i will be dropping the tranny cant get the clutch to break loose or its just bad i will upload the pics of the old parts soon as i find my usb cord for the phone its beyond awesome to have clutch pressure though. Ive considered a stage 1 clutch that ive found on ebay any thoughs on these its a whole kit throwout bearings guide tool etc for 139 seems like an ok deal or this stage 2 from f1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT i hope the fly wheel is in good shape when the tranny comes down too thats not the cheapest thing to replace

I re installed my FC brake booster following this "remove seat" advice 500% easier, word of advice for doing the clutch master, bolt the top bolt on the fire wall before you attach the plunger stick piece, if you set the plunger in place before bolting down you will never get the top nut on tight.
