Jeff,

I couldn't agree with you more. Rob at Advanced is the man when it comes to customer service. I have had some dealings with him, and am talking to him now about moving to his clutch. I bought a bellhousing from him, that ended up being to deep for my current application. He was up front, and always there when we called on him. He refunded my money for the bellhousing, and I ended up buying a new one from Lakewood, but only because I was at a race, and needed it that same day. In the future... I will have an Advanced clutch in my car.

As for now, I just need to get the car to make a full pass, and start working out the bugs without throwing any more money at it. I have been on the phone with McLeod most of the morning, and as it looks, they set it up wrong from the start. Fred Taylor had me measure from the inside of the PP cover to the finger, and said if properly set up it should read .290. When I measured mine, it is at .240. There is the .050 that I can't seem to fine. I am waiting to hear back from him to confirm this, and if so, the unit will be returned to McLeod to be set up correctly. I am not about to settle for just adding shims to my clutch, like Jeff said, for the money, it should be set up right the first time!

I have fought this car and clutch problems since May of this year, and have made numerous calls to McLeod. In and out with the trans, bell, and clutch at least 50 times adjusting everything possible, and a simple mistake on their part has cost me hundreds of dollars in fuel, entry fees, and my own time.

Hopefully, everything will work out with a fix by McLeod, and I can get my race car out to make a full pass, and start sorting things out. Basically 2007 was a wash for me...

More to come....
