**********************
For these who wanted to know more about the transmission mount spacers I made here ya go~ These are a bit crude as I could only get 1/2" aluminum plate and not a bar but they will do the job. Just basically drilled the appropriate sized holed in the drill press then cut the spacers to size. I'll probably make another set later once I get some aluminum bar or may make some out of round bar... hmmm yeah I think i'll make the next ones round to match the mounts!

Thanks

would a stack of fender washers work ?? , you could tailor the thickness

What are you working on that you have 10mm fender washers laying around from?!?!

Just kidding~ Yeah as long as they are large enough I'm sure that would work! I started off going that route but decided to go with a chunk of aluminum in the end for a bit of an easier installation and somewhat cleaner look

Question... What is the "custom throw out bearing" from Renegade? I hope it doesn't mean I have to get the clutch from them... I was going to buy a Spec clutch. :ah:

I think custom just means it is going to fit the high performance clutch setup~ not that there is anything really custom about it... if memory serves I believe it is just a new Sachs unit for a 996 but didn't really think about it.

You may want to contact Kennedy Engineered products before getting a SPEC clutch, they make the adapter plate and may give you a better price if you call them direct.
