Call G-Force and ask about their trade-ins, it will save you some money if they have something in stock. You will then get an updated trans with your gear choices at a reduced cost. Also as suggested get an input shaft sensor installed. How long the clutch slips is the biggest item to log and track. Browell and a window to adjust the clutch, Browell has a conical bellhousing similar to a QT but is custom and maybe a couple hundred more than a QT. You can also have the window clocked where you want it. Several fast cars are using Cale's clutch and like his stuff, several others including myself have Robs dual disc clutch. I have had good luck with Rob and the clutch has a wide tuning window. There are still a lot of Mcleod and Ram clutches in use to. In my opinion having a data logger is key to knowing what the cluch is doing, regardless of who's clutch is in the bellhousing.

Good luck

Sean

Are you sure that's a good idea?

Well Carey you should know, with your experience driving your SS S2000 with a stick, your comp car with a stick, my dragpak when it was a auto, and countless others cars with sticks etc. You know the $ involved and everything else.

I can see three ways its a good idea, no question

#1 going back to stock I just assumed it was for SS, for stock, good combo, will take some $ and time
#2 combo change plus stick for SS, there some good potential there with other motors.
#3 Putting the existing combo into a old car for FGT.....Bucky's SS/AH would be cool, a 70 challenger with the six pack hood like mine wouldn't be bad, could likely get the dragpack intake in there, hell I've been talking to Tueton too much, I might even part with that # matching bad boy.

Lots of fun and good options for a winter.

Eric

After a bunch of research I decided to go with a G-Force for mine. The manual trans community assured me a Jerico was not an option for a higher horse power car, like the Drag Paks. I looked at Liberty as well as the G-Force and the one thing that helped make up my mind was that G-Force answered phone calls/ Returned calls and responded to emails. Liberty ,for me, was really hard to get a hold of. With that in mind, it made me concerned of service down the road. Anyway, that's my 2 cents!
