Hi Justin!
Been a while! Happy to hear you went to DSS and got the info direct from the source. DSS & most every engine building Company will have mixed reviews, negate most of them, usually folks that went in too deep and not admit their own errors, always easier to blame the other guy..
You acquired a lot of good parts & went the right direction, sounds like a Win-Win situation.
Bummer about the House stuff, least’ it’s complete & out of the way, now. When it rains, it pours, lol.
Clutches in my 08’ GT & GT500 needed replacing within 3 weeks of each other, McLeod’s Street extreme (most stout Organic- 500-550HP) & their lightened Steel Flywheel in the GT, shimmed OE Hydraulic throwout- Shelby got McLeod’s 1,000HP twin disc version, their Flywheel & Throwout, braided lines, both with OE pilot’s.
Both were chatter & noise free, smooth engaging, with similar, slick pedal effort, performance. I install quite a few in others Cars, drive them 20 miles, Hand them off.
Nice breaking in your own, Mccleod makes great Clutches, prefer OE throw outs, when possible, lol! My 2,700$ of Clutches & extra’s.
All good!
Should have a hell of a Mill dropped between the fenders of your Pony before too long, keep chipping away at it.
Sounds like you’re covering that, Great job freshening up the engine Bay, Frame, replacing the wear parts, sure you’re not done- either, lol!
What did DSS recommend replacing? Tear down, clean, verify & Bolt it back up?
Glad to hear it’s going well!
