Lucky you! I had hand tools, a cold driveway, and friends that are afraid to get dirty.

All I can say is for the past two weeks it seems like the Fidanza and Centerforce are a match made in heaven. I chose Fidanza just for the reason pointed out in the previous post, 1)steel billet insert and 2)it's simply removable when needed, at least it's an option unlike many others.

The Centerforce it seems is OMG!!! a little softer if not the same than the stock clutch in terms of engagement. CENTERFORCE Rules!!!

i had mine first. j/k... i love the transition between gears with the centerforce and fidanza duo. clerly a wise choice. 10 hours may sem long but not when you stop for breaks and eat lunch in between. i think i b.s'ed more then worked.

Someone posted that the Fidanza is not compitable with some clutch kits out there. Which ones are they?
They will not work with RAM. The reason is because of the flywheels are not grinded so the clutch never properly breaks in. Go with a Centerforce you can't go wrong except they weigh quite a bit and negates half of the aluminium flywheel. I went through this headache for a month before I figured out what its was. Props to aussie for dropping that thing in that amount of time. Mine was considerably longer.

im not a flywheel scientist but i just looked at my stock flywheel and it wasnt grinded either. it was very smooth where the clutch engages. maybe do to long use it wore down but . if you say thats why then i guess u may be right

To start with most flywheels are grinded before being mated up with a clutch. It's not turned more of a cross hatch look. I went back in fourth for a month before me a rep at ram figured it out. Ram clutchs are made out of a diffrent material than you run of the mill clutch. I tried kevlar and mettalic and both would not work with the flywheel. So I got rid of the flywheel since they would not take my clutchs back. If you look deep into rams website it states that your flywheel has to be grinded before intstall. I think there might be one other clutch that doesn't jive with the flywheel.
