Installing my clutch and flywheel tonight, any tips?

^^That's quite a bit of pressure. I recall the FSM explicitely stating not to use any pressure bleeders on the clutch. Reason probably being the clutch MC having much smaller

^^That's quite a bit of pressure. I recall the FSM explicitely stating not to use any pressure bleeders on the clutch. Reason probably being the clutch MC having much smaller seals than the brake mc, and operating at significantly lower pressures.

How'd you wear out the clutch so fast in a 2012?

Ahh, lol. I should start reading more.

Me? Several factors, haha. I pretty much learned manual on this car, so it had some pretty bad slipping in the beginning. Also, I participate in drifting, and god did I clutch kick the car HARD. I also powershift through gears down the drag strip, since we have a soft-rev limit. Through all this abuse (28000 miles), I must have glazed the disc over.

That's why I called Joe, asked for a setup that could handle this abuse, plus a turbo kit, and didn't look back. (Or at my wallet. )
