I stayed with my car when they changed the clutch without dropping the motor ,I have the FVD LWFW SACHS clutch,took about 8 hours,not tricky if you ask me but it's a lot of work.Don't worry about the LWFW , my car drives like stock clutch just a little rattle from the LWFW,not bat at all..

The driveability is better than stock, IMO. The noise was cool for about an hour, but I think its going to be something that I have to get used to. The car revs in neutral much faster. Now when blipping the throttle for downshifts, the rpm goes about 2500 RPM higher than needed.

I haven't put the srews to it yet, still have 120 miles to go for the bedding in. Then I can do roll on's. After 500 1/4 mile launches would be okay to do.

I was planning on reserving judgement for about a week, but honestly, so far I am extremely happy.
