Lightness is Goodness

Picked the car up from the shop this morning.  They installed the new Clutchmasters clutch and lightweight flywheel for us.  (yeah, we could have done it... but it's just one of those things that's worth paying $240 to have done!)  The clutch uses a Kevlar disk, which should last a long, long time.  The flywheel is about 12 pounds lighter than stock, and makes a noticeable difference in acceleration, especially in 2nd gear (1st gear is gone so quick in this car that it's hard to tell much difference there). 

Jeff HATES the new clutch, though!  I have to agree that it does lack a lot in feel.  Well, okay, it has NO feel whatsoever!  Really.  It's just a soft pedal that gives no feedback at all.  The clutch itself actuates as it should and I adapted to the "no feel" pretty quickly.  Hopefully, Jeff will adapt, too.

On the plus side, the clutch seems to hold well, and that will only get better as it breaks in.  And the lightweight flywheel makes heel-toe downshifts MUCH smoother and easier.
