Well, it seems that my rear main seal is leaking. It sucks, but the repair has to be done. Luckily I still have extended warranty. Since they'll be removing the cradle and engine for this repair, I figure I'll get them to install the Exedy at the same time. Man, what a bummer...

Seriously, what are the chances? My slave cylinder went out when I get the Bully, then my trans was grinding when i got the Spec. Now the RMS leaking when i get the Exedy? Damn crappy luck, IMO.

Can't be much luckier to have both the extended warranty and an unrelated part go bad, allowing for killing two birds with one stone.

Stop beating the shit out of your car. :blockhead:

Good luck with the clutch. Haven't heard of too many people that haven't experienced some sort of issues with an aftermarket clutch install.

Exedy's been the least problematic tho, IIRC. :D

My first exedy was great...it was the slave cylinder that went bad. I just replaced it. I got an extra clutch thinking the first was worn. It wasn't the fact, it was still very good. I replaced the exedy anyway. I traded my used exedy for a meth setup. I bit the bullet on that exchange :lol:

Well, at least you are finally getting the best clutch. The bully wasn't good? I think you're the 1st I've heard of with that one, didn't even know they made one for us...

The Bully didn't even work. I couldn't get it to disengage. Total piece of shit and the company that sold it declared bankruptcy.

man I'm so glad I got out of that one before I repeated the Clutch Masters fiasco...that mighta been enough to push me off the LSJ completely.

still got my Exedy sitting on the living room floor - can't believe you're gonna beat me to it. :ack:

How many miles are on your car? The only leak I've had a problem with are axle seals.

at least you know that you should be sitting pretty sound once done. =)

Still never fun to be w/out the car of course.

Tell you what, when you get the clutch in, we need to do another get together.

Clutch is done now. Holy crap this thing is amazing. Hard to press, but holds STRONG STRONG STRONG.

Anyone know the break-in period?
