[Shotimes] Clutch replacement in NH/MASS - recommendations?

[Ian Fisher]

Mike
There's nothing really different about doing an SHO
clutch vs another car. Just take it to a decent shop
that will blanchard grind the flywheel and replacement
the wear parts (TOB, etc). It's a good idea to replace
the rear main seal and carrier gasket while you are in
there too.

Anyone who promises the clutch done in a few hours
might be cutting corners unless they can grind the
flywheel onsite and don't need to order any parts.

Kirk Doucette and Chris Archer have a SHO speciality
shop in the New England area. You might want to
contact them.
