Default Just got JWT clutch and flywheel instal

The flywheel chatters, but that's okay because my exhaust is loud.. The only things I have noticed are it's a very difficult clutch to use, and extremely sensitive. Alot harder then oem, and very tough to push in and sturdy. The catch point has gotten a little higher, since the first day it was installed. It started very low, now its mid-high. In only 100 miles or so. The pickup on speed (to only 3500-4000 rpm at most because of break-in) feels quick, but obviously i have yet to punch it. It also made my old 3rd gear grind mostly go away! Great item so far!

Don't think I took my to redline in the first 3 gears for at least 2.5 miles after mine was installed. Just drive it, I still have mine , 120k miles later.

If you really have a hard time driving it buy an RJM clutch pedal. It will definitely help. The JWT combo should be a walk in the park to drive though.

op I hope you did Slave and master cylinders. You will have to replace those after about 10K miles with jwt combo. It happened to me when I had my my jwt kit installed. I don't think it will be that much work because I think your slave is external instead of internal like mine is on 07 hr.
