So, I confronted the standard question for a replacement: OEM or aftermarket?
It was a short debate: I’ve never liked the OEM clutch, because I’ve always thought it’s too mushy and does not engage/disengage nearly crisply enough. Hey, every now and then it’s fun to lay a little rubber 😉 I’ve driven the Comptech single plate clutch (in Dave Davis’s car), but I couldn’t deal with the pedal pressure — it felt more than twice as stiff as the OEM clutch. I’ve driven the RM clutch, which requires less effort than the CT but somewhat more than the OEM, and which I like. But, after many hassles trying to get a working exhaust from RM (which took 3 tries and cost me a completely melted rear valance, but that’s another story that I’m just too annoyed to write), I’m no longer a big fan of Randy’s. As luck would have it, I was sharing my dilemma with Dave Davis after our recent River Run outing, and he mentioned that he was about to enter the aftermarket parts business — and a clutch was going to be his first part. Would I consider waiting a few weeks to be a guinea pig
