GEEE, this was fun.



Guess what failed? Because your guess would be as good as mine. Seems either the pilot or throw out bearing was failing, causing a hellacious rattling noise when the cluch was fully disengaged, but at least I pulled the clutch at a good time as the friction was less than a few months/a year a way from slipping.

Say herrow to dual friction clutch time!



It's like brass on the flywheel side, and ceramic on the pressure plate side. Healthy increase in grip with out being super chatty, and isn't prone to getting mad at a few launches.. Few bucks below an ACDELCO stock clutch, so all is good in the world. Everything gets here monday.
