This is not good news. Since the clutch install, it sounds like there is a bunch of ground up ball bearings in the tranny, especially on deceleration. Re-installing the tranny was a nightmare because there are two tabs on either side of the tranny that are hard against the body as you raise...

I installed the DSS this past weekend. I found the installation simple and straight forward except for the part where I dropped the shaft on my head. No permanent damage. I have no vibration from the DSS, but it is a bit noisier than the factory shaft. I also installed an aluminum flywheel...

I just installed the MGW Race Spec this past weekend. It is a lovely piece of engineering. I did not expect the large increase in NVH that I got with this shifter. More a problem with my expectations than anything with the design of the shifter. Also, it is extremely stiff at the moment...

Has anyone on this forum installed an RST in their Ecoboost? I'm trying to install a Mcleod RST clutch. I am having nothing but problems. Nothing fits as advertised. The alignment tool sent with the kit doesn't fit the pilot bearing. The factory flywheel bolts are nearly an inch too...

That's why I posted this question in the first place. I have no answers, only questions.

Mcleod has 6 cars with this clutch installed without issues.

Huh...it worked.

The EB does have a dual-mass flywheel. The kit from McLeod was specific to the EB. Having spoken to Mcleod, they've never previously had an issue with the factory bolts and now that the flywheel fully engages the starter at rest, there is clearly something amiss. My first thought is to...

The latest from Mcleod is that I have a non-standard flywheel in my car. I hate being special.

This guy ended up being right. After spending the better part of a day running around Southeast MI looking for the correct bolts (order ahead of time, no one has them). My brother and I were installing the flywheel. It to a matter of minutes to determine I had the wrong flywheel. The...

I replaced all the associated parts of the clutch including throwout bearing, hydraulic line and pilot bearing. These are not parts I want to have to replace again. I'm also installing an MGW shifter and DSS Aluminum driveshaft. These are just bonus items since I'm already under the car.

Found a local auto parts store open on Sunday. The first thing the counter guy said when he saw the factory bolt was "wow, that's really long for flywheel bolt". He did have a flywheel bolt that looks much more appropriate, but only had two of the six I needed. I'm closer but no where near the...

I'm upgrading my clutch to a Mcleod RST clutch this weekend. When got the stock flywheel off we discovered that the stock flywheel bolts are about 3/4 of an inch too long. I also seems that the holes in the crankshaft are not through but are only 3/4 in deep. Everywhere I ask, including...

There are many ways to skin a cat and you will get a wide range of opinions here. This would depend greatly on your level of experience, driving style, the tracks you run on and the tires you're running. For me $1300 is a lot of money and it does not address some of the underlying issues. You...

I'm installing a Mcleod twin disc clutch and I'm getting old and feeble. Given the increased complexity (really?) of the install and my desire to be gentle to my relatively new car I've been thinking caution is the greater part of valor this time around. The next comment will be, if I feel...

I'm replacing my clutch soon. Does anyone know where I can rent a transmission jack near West Bloomfield, MI? Thanks

Wheels take so much heat from the brakes that in Formula One it is a means of getting the tires up to operating temperature quickly and maintaining in low ambient temperatures.

You guys are mean.

Congrats! Welcome to the family. I've got 32k on mine. Tuned and I do my best to drive the snot out of it. The car has been rock solid on the street and track. I've had a couple of small electronic issues that miraculously cured themselves. The radio stopped working twice, the fuel gauge acted...

Oooo... One other issue is that some upgrade parts are more difficult to find for the EB. I'm upgrading my clutch this spring and have gotten all the parts ready to go. The number of choices available for the GT is somewhat huge compared to the EB. There is a long list of suppliers for power...
