i'm doing it right now, i was down in my basement tonight, finally got into the clutch's, my direct,and intermediate clutch's were burnt badly, friggin steels were blue! lol, anyhow i made the mistake of taking all four clutch packs apart, now i'm scratching my head trying to figure out what the **** came out of what, lol, i am stoned on varsol as well so i gave up for the night, i just cannot think, and to add to all the fun tonight, i am missing a friction and steel. i told the guy at the tranny shop that the SHO tranny had extra friction, oh yeah he said, man i am going back there first thing in the morning. right now, out of all the stuff i have done to the transmission, i find the cluch packs the hardest thing. i've had the valve body totally apart, all valves and springs, and yet i am having trouble with my clutch's, friggin wierd.
anyhow if you run into any problems i am willing to help you out best i can. Steve is quite adept in these as well, he has given me some pointers ect... it's well worth it, i have done some nice mods that will give a good 1-2-3 quick hard shifts.
