Default Clutch Selection

Kit,

I also own a WCC. Just this week, I had installed a TKO-500. I like the ratio for street better. I had a Richmond (Doug Nash) 5 speed that always had problems shifting into 1st and 2nd. The TKO-500 bolted right in. the only difference was where the shifter was located. I now is about 1 1/2 inches to the right or dead in the middle of the tunnel. I like the position even better than before. We just drove it yesterday and it is amazing. I also had previously a Mcleod clutch. It seemed also to have problems that I thought were due to the TO bearing. We put a new type of hydraulic To bearing that does't just float on the input shaft, it bolts in and provides a much better feel on the engage/disengage than before.

We are now putting on Baer brakes (13") with 17" rims. To provide better braking, we are putting in a POwer Brake Service hydroboost. That provides much more braking force and reduces pedal fade.

By the way....I now have a fully polished set of 15" rims that will fit your WCC....any interest?? email me if you are or I will come back to check this thread...

Good Luck...

Mike

PS...Rims are Team III
