taylor has that exact clutch. its a pig to drive but you can get used to it easily enough, it depends if you want to or not

Early DSMs had issues with crank walk, apparently mitsi solved the problem at the exact same time they moved to using pull clutches... :P

One assumes that also has a relationship with people putting in heavy duty clutches, but still worth thinking about.

Do you think we can get a 2 for 1 deal somewhere? :P I wonder if there is much difference with the damper or not.

the evo 4 also suffers from crank walk, and it uses a pull-type clutch.

I hadn't heard that. My information was from reading DSM forums in the US some time ago, am happy to be corrected :)

I use R2CD, hard clutch, good but I think for daily drive better buy exedy 2 disk clutch, then exedy softly

also r2cd more expencive and push type
