quaife/cm stage 4 installed!

It was not fun. Now I have to wait another 500 miles or so, to see if they do any good.

But so far the cm4 is very streetable. Quick engagement, but nothing you can't get used to.

Whoa! How long did it take? Wow, that thing ought to hook up fast now, no slippage either. Track time!

Drive it nice for 500 miles or so. Try to do lots of city driving, downshifting to slow my car down, stuff like that.

Whats funny is when ford installed my centerforce clutch, they didn't say shit about me breaking it in right. I still put 1000 miles on until I drove it somewhat hard. Of course, my commute is insanely far too so I figured that was about right to match 500 city.

congrats man!!

Hey dead, let me know if your clutch "shudders" a little. Im thinking its normal, because its a 4 puck, but want to make sure.

Hrm.. i will tell you if it shutters if you tell me what your tranny sound like when you get off the gas.

As for the shutters I dont have any shutter that I can feel. Tho My Clutch is ON or Off.

I have a light tick when car is running, in neutral, but I've had it since I bought it new.

Hmmm, mine shudders. I wonder if red rooster fucked up my flywheel.

Hrm.. Dont know if this helps but i know my buddies wrx just got a new stage2 clutch 30% over stock and flywheel and its shutters. I guess this is common on wrx trannys but dont know about ours.

Kinda sucks that the search is busted on FJ.com.

Light tick when in neutral. I have a tick like gear on gear when i let off the gas in all gears. No sound in netural..
