Looking at buying it and wondering if anyone is using it? http://www.moderndriveline.com/Technical_Bits/Fox_Hydraulic_Clutch_Install.htm

First time i'm seeing that hydraulic clutch setup.
Looks interesting.
Went through the slideshow install and appears to be pretty detailed, which is a complaint about one of the other hydraulic clutch companies.
Wonder if it will clear my valve cover. I'd love to get an easier clutch and just haven't pulled the trigger on a dual setup.

I'm interested. I've been meaning to look into this, but the stock clutch just hasn't been that big of an issue for me. I've had knee surgery, so I definitely want to make things easier on my left knee.

I called them today, apparently this kit has been out for about a year.
The guy that handled my tech call clearly knew his stuff.

If it fit my car (which is does not, although they have a slimmed down version in the works for dohc cars), I do feel that I would be comfortable purchasing it from them.
With that said, based on my car, he seemed to think a twin disc might be a better place to start since the clutch I have is zero slip and extremely heavy.

Did they happen to mention if they recommend the throw out bearing slave cylinder or the external mount?
