feel like brand new..again.

Hi guys, I recently got my clutch job and maintenance done over the past weekend.Very IMPRESSED!
Before:
My second gear was very hard to engage, the brake didn't feel reponsive, the power was lost somewhere so I didn't feel any better than my any other cars I owned.
After:
All gears are smooth like a gourmet butter, brake feel like a well tuned race car, clutch pedal is 2 or 3 times softer than what it was and the power is always there at any rpm.

I would highly recommend you to replace your clutch sooner than you would expect to prevent excessive maintainance like..flywheel. I didn't feel any slip from my old clutch only it was harder to engage. When we took it off.. my god!...completely gone! Had to spend another grand to get a new flywheel.
My updated RMS was replaced twice, the first one was defect from factory!
So buy 2 or 3 just in case(like mine). The Royal Purple transmission fluid is awesome and the ATE Superblue brake fluid(call Ar-Tee) is second to none.
Just want to share some experience with you guys..thanks for reading
LONG LIVE THE PORSCHE

What are the benefits of installing the Aasco flywheel? What do they cost?

Lighter weight than OEM flywheel means engine spools up faster. There are some issues reported in the way of driveline noise/chatter though... The best price I could find was $750 for the AASCO branded as Unorthodox via Ultrarev.com
