Absolutely!


As long as your car is so old it doesn't have syncros. Or like my truck where the 1st - 2nd syncro is **** so I have to double clutch into it, or it grinds like hell. It's **** because the slave cylinder died while I was about 100 miles from anywhere, no clutch and had to rev match gears everywhere. I got pretty good at it though, but 1st to 2nd was hard on me and that transmission.

You know what? This will decimate all, after, you put about fifteen grand in it or more. If we have to, overnight parts from Japan.
