from what i remember, i hear its our flywheel and bearings that are making all the shuttering noises. i wonder if the f sport will fix the problems even though its just a clutch. we really need a review on it from a member.

that, and also that the flywheel is UBER heavy... and thats the reason why it takes the RPM's forever to drop

yeah! i hate that the rpms stay high when shifting. I heard its rated at at around 50 lbs.?????WTF....it blows...not to mention it's ruining the clutch. i'm going to give ClutchMasters a call to see what they can do to alleviate the situation.
