Default lol. :-)

no, that's really how high they catch. There's not much you can do. Some aftermarket clutchs lower it so when your clutch is bad that's always an option.

Default look into Southbend clutches...

there are many different clutchs out there so just search around the archive. Also, based on some of the reviews on here, stay away from SPEC clutches.

If you do go with a southbend talk with Joe@AxisMotorsport, he's a great guy to deal with.
