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!

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.
