As I slowly get closer and closer to start buying stuff to rebuild my 5spd tranny, I have been looking at the final drive kit. In my opinion, it looks like a worthy upgrade if you're ripping apart the tranny anyways. My plan is to rip apart a transmission once and then hopefully *crosses fingers* never have to touch it again.
I'm personally planning to put in a LSD, new clutch/flywheel and final drive. Hopefully nothing else will need to be touched/replaced.
I have been looking around for a clutch/flywheel package for city/hard driving as I do love to abuse a tranny and give it a hard run from time to time (eventually get to a track as well). I have read lots of positive reviews about the clutchmasters clutch/flywheel combo. I believe its a stage 3 - the model number is like fx300. I have heard some people complain that the fx400 (stage 4 :P) has had some chatter issues.
Not sure what you are going after but that is as far as I know and have read up until now. Reasoning behind clutchmasters is they have supposidly "re-engineered" the fulcrum point so you can get a stronger hold with a smoother engagement without killing your leg.
