Are you putting in the clutch yourself? If you are, can you let me know how it goes? I have my Quarter Master twin waiting to be installed. I was told you need (4) M6x60mm 1 pitch bolts for the TOB. Don't know what else to expect. Especially with all the shims that come with the clutch.

You should find out from a person who has knowledge of the exact item you are installing (manufacturer) so if you blow your **** up you might get help. If you just go buy what other people say (usually just an opinion) not fact, you could be installing another clutch. Good luck!

From personal experience, I got my clutch put in and within an hour I was out getting a road tune. I didn't have any issues.

I do know that the Exedy twin disc clutches are not heat treated from the factory. This is why the break-in period is so important.

Breaking it in heat treats the clutch so that it can cure correctly. You can reduce the life of the clutch by not doing a proper break-in.

After spending the $$ and time - might as well do it right.

500 miles little or no boost and nothing above 4,000rpms. Readjust clutch pedal and you are good to go. I have a cusco twin in now and broke it in this way.
