Picked the car up this morning after five weeks to the day lol.

Very happy with the results, the gearbox feels lovely, I Haven't given it much of a test yet due to the new clutch which feels very weird (I've never had an new after market clutch before). I've been told the judder should wear off after a couple of hundred miles?? Also is it normal to get a lot of smell coming from the new clutch or is just me getting used to the different biting point??

Also found out that the gearbox was done by a company called G.E.A.R.S they're based in Merseyside but I think they do pick up and deliver though, Apparently they specialize in Scoobies and Cosworths. Maybe some use to someone in the future.

Did you get the exeedy clutch in the end?

If so they can be a bit smelly, more so when reversing I have found..

SamSTI 25-02-2013 04:44 PM

Hi Ian,

I got a stage 2 competition clutch. I have no knowledge on clutches but Brent at SMD said that in he's opinion these are better (less judder).

the smell was when i was reversing too so must be the norm then.

GB270Adam 25-02-2013 07:36 PM

Excellent news mate, uprated clutches can be a bit snappy and juddery if not worn in properly, just take it easy (easier said than done I know) :lol:
