Thanks for the quick reply Tubby! I ended up off-loading one of my toys so that freed up some cash and I went with a new clutch.

WTB: Good used performance clutch
Don't need much over stock. Kind of looking for something that was maybe too much or not enough for someone looking to recoup some of their cash after going to another clutch.
