I didn't bother to replace the clutch with 50K miles when I installed the Z1 CSCEK. But I also didn't pay for labor

cause I DIY

The 5th and 6th gear synchros are going out, so I'm planning to replace the transmission under warranty at some point (100K mile warranty - currently at 70K miles). I bought EW's gaseous clutch and pressure plates with 8K miles on them to install when I have the transmission replaced

Yeah, I just figured a lot of people don't DIY that stuff

If not DIYing, why pay the labor twice.

There's a reason for that lol

I certainly don't plan to do it again. Not without a lift at least

But absolutely. If I had been paying for it, I would have probably just upgraded to a street South Bend setup with the lightest flywheel possible from Joe at ZSpeed. As it is, I will just buy the lightweight flywheel and pair it to EW's clutch

It didn't feel like I ran over a large log and after inspection, I don't see any damage. It is raining like mad and I can't image there isn't a least some light scratches, hopefully buffable.

no rain in duluth yet

If you do the slave, absolutely do the master.

My slave was fine when I replaced it with the Z1 kit. I did the work as preventative maintenance when my master went out for the second time. It's now failed three times in less than 70K miles
