11k and I am replacing my clutch

[Cfdproductions]

11k on the car about 2k of it on a JB4 e30-e40 mix ... car has a lot of pulls on it and the clutch decided to give up the ghost ... I dont plan on switching turbos anytime soon so i went with a Clutch master FX400 so we shall see how this replacement is ... I will be sure to update this post once its installed to give feedback for everyone that plans on staying stock turbo but has to upgrade a clutch

Following!
I’ve got 20k miles and I’m getting tons of slip if I don’t roll into the throttle gently. Just map 1 JB4 right now. Looking forward to hearing how your install goes as well as what the pedal and shifting feels like.

Are you going to use the CM hydraulic release bearing?

please don’t install the HRB, just the clutch kit itself.

well winter is finally over and I was able to get the clutch put in … took a little over 2 hrs with some help and a lift so not a terribly hard job! First impressions: The pedal is noticeably stiffer not not so bad that my leg is going to be tired after driving it all day, the engagement is good very little chatter of any at all. Pedal engages at a good height and it grabs hard on fast shifts! … I’m gonna drive it a bit before I give it any extra power over stock but so far I’m happy with it !

Keep us updated. Still eyeing the PTB as possible replacement when I upgrade the turbo.
