Oh hell no! Not for this car. This is the first clutch I have ever taken out, put well over 100k on vehicles and never needed a clutch. But that was in a small town and more normal driving.

Put it in a safe place for a while. Will have time after the holidays to fix.

Looks like I smoked my ACT clutch in 30k miles. Was wondering so I counted my shifts on the way home today. 196 shifts in 19 miles. Got to love Dallas traffic.

I think mav1178 still has some ORC clutches for sale.

I have been stacking parts to go through my car before next season. Ordered material for a new splitter, rods and mount from PA, multiple sets of springs for my T2's, clutch, new seat mounts, fresh friction rings. Eyeing tires and a fire system now.

Both made it into the garage for the first time in a while

Made my front splitter go SKRRRRCH while parking.

Took the TRD quickshifter kit off last night. I stupidly put it on a couple years ago in combination with the STI short shifter kit. I grew tired of the overly notchy feel and difficulty getting into gear sometimes. I always forget how good the stock shifter is. I do notice some feedback, so I think it's about that time to flush my trans and diff. Especially since I'm pushing 85k miles.

What came in the "TRD quickshifter kit" and what was in the "STi short shifter kit"? Think I may be missing some bits as I felt no change between the stock BRZ shifter and the so called "Short Shifter".

The STI kit was a whole new shifter assembly but it was like a 4mm difference. The TRD was some adapter that shifted the linkage and shortened the throws. As you can see from the link below:

If I followed your preferences it would never move..lol
I live on a gravel road in Canada.....

And these cars are a blast in the snow and ice. And in Ontario..where there's snow...there's salt...
