Re: Switching 10" Spring Clutch to 9.5" Diaphragm

Re: Switching 10" Spring Clutch to 9.5" Diaphragm
Rich, send it back. Sincere apologies but we have fitted 2 now and both have clutch judder. (Ones in my car and is being swapped out this winter).
We have decided to go for the short slave cylinder with external return spring and carbon release bearings now.
