stressymare: I'm not sure what was wrong with yours but I suggest you take it up with APi. Current GB kits (not APi) are sold with warranty against defective parts. I have used this clutch kit for years (100s of drag runs) and run 11s 1/4mile and have only managed to kill it when doing silly things like this

YouTube - Subaru- Drag racing - what happens when you launch in 2nd

ie nothing wrong with the clutch or fitting, just the user

Not very nice, should have talked them into a discount as a goodwill gesture.

Hope it's all sorted now
