Ok, first impressions!1) Pedal is SOFTER than stock; I didn't like it at first, but it's fine now2) Clutch engages lower to the floor than stock, like most sticks i've driven in the past. This is actually good, as the !@#$ valet guys won't burn my clutch anymore /rude3) MWR flywheel makes a weird but sweet noise when turning the car over LOL4) MWR flywheel does allow for quicker revving, but not too noticable5) AMSoil'd MTG manual tranny fluid is EXCELLENT; better than the severe gear lube I was using before, and that was pretty good.I'm still breaking them in and getting used to the clutch. After a few hundred miles, I'll open it up a little more

They ALWAYS over rev it and then probably burn the sh*** out of the clutch and then sometimes peel out. lol. However, I do get a little mad when I think about the damage they're doing.

(removed)... ok, confession: i did that all the time on mine.. but it's not my car anymore, so i can admit this now! HA HA HA!and poor girl who bought it, had to replace that clutch. already knew because it was starting to slip, not too bad, but enough that it was certainly noticeable.... also one of the many reasons for trading it in AS IS at the time.

That crap happens ALL the time. And yes, they are damaging your clutch/flywheel.Half the time, they try moving it for a few minutes, then just give up and leave it where it is LOL.
