Well its about time.. tHe CaR is RoLLiNg aGaIn

Well after about 2 months i finally got my car fixed AGAIN...
I was gonna go with another pull type but decided to go with a push type...my brand new OS Giken clutch came in the other day and dropped it of to Gil (Superz) yesterday and dropped my car off today... and after a few hours i get a call and was told that my car is done... i think it was around 2 and a half hours...
Thanks Gil for the quick and great job.. the clutch feels great

Just curious, do you have a stainless steel line? If so did you remove the restrictor on it?

You're welcome Gerard, thanks for the work . For all who may not know, the O.S. Giken push type clutch uses a new slave cylinder therefore the restrictor is non-existent. The stock clutch line is still in there. All in all the install was straight forward exept for the bars that stick out of the tranny. They come very close to the radiator hose so keep an eye on it Gerard. There is less pedal travel with a push type but I thought the clutch felt very drivable. Good luck and keep in touch Gerard. Before you go up to Al give me a call.
