Performance clutch and aluminum flywheel

I've been bugging different companies to get one built seeing as the shifting is one of the most annoying things (IMO) about the 451

As the story is with all manufacturers they wanted a clutch and flywheel to use as a template. No one wants to pull their car apart for a month unless they have to... No one wants to spend $500 just to send the stuff off either. Getting frusterated at arrogance and ignorance with a few companies I finally found one that was friendly, polite and willing to TRY!

found a happy comprimise on ebay for $125 of a slightly used setup due to a death of a 451 (organ transplant) and now the work begins.

Everything should be ready by the end of April (fingers crossed)

American made (not far east junk) built by none other than Clutch Masters.

With the clutch / flywheel setup and a TCM reflash it should shift like a GTR! LOL j/k but it should be significantly faster and more sporty.

Just wanted to say that I've noticed on my drive to work in the afternoon my car is much more squirmy than on my drive home. On the way home at night my car feels rock solid as any other automobile I've ever driven. I thought maybe because it was da…

Doug Thorley Single exit exhuast and SILA cold air intake

Just installed both items. WOW! What a difference in performance and sound. Pulling out into traffic or merging on the freeway now is not a problem at all. The car really feels like it jumps off the line, no more of that lagging hesitation. I highly…
