hey narshadda, i replied to a thread you started a while back and i rambled on about gears, only to read this right after. d'oh. to be honest: as soon as i put my 3.73's in, my clutch started making a whine noise when i would release the clutch pedal. then again, my car has 80+ k on the clock, so it might have been time to swap any way. see my post "vibration at 3k" regarding my clutch problems. new clutch whines exactly the way the old one did, does feel like it has a positive engagement though, snaps the neck! i've got another 50 miles on the centerforce directed break-in period on the new clutch. then, i will romp on it hard, and see if everything is OK.. but right now, feels like vibration from clutch is hindering car's performance. before the clutch swap, post gear swap, the car was a freakin' beast. hope to help, shoot me back if you want for more advise. stay cool man
