Well i'm seriously afraid of my trannies condition,
but must wait over 2 weeks for enough moolah to get
the IPT Stage 4 clutch and IPT LSD... Another 2 weeks
to install it. It shifts smooth as silk when at idling
and downshifts ok, but hates the upshifts. Doesn't
grind like my '91s tranny did and doesn't have that
choppy gate passage when at extremely low speeds like
my '91s syncros did. Unforunately I will have to drive
the shaggalic while the sho is outta commission.

BTW, it's a Jr Revs clutch from Sho Shop, so it
supposedly has reinforced straps and rivets for the
PP... I'm afraid that will become something to my
disadvantage rather then benefiting from the
reinforced parts. Maybe it's because the car is
*possibly* pushing the 260hp mark at the flywheel? :-\
I didn't get this clutch installed so i really can't
say why this certain one was chosen.
