    Just ordered mine finally, I will hold off on a decision on which clutch to buy while I save up the funds and figure out where I am actually going to do the work. It will be nice to get this in when I get to that point though.

    Just my luck, always late to the party. Been chasing a sound all week and finally figured it out to be my TOB. Think I will be ordering one of these Monday

    Just a reminder for anyone who might be on the fence, you still have until January 24th to get an order in! So just let me know if you'd like all the details and I'll shoot them your way.

    was told mine will be ready for shipment middle of next week (Weds 1/22 ?)
    no problem, just more time to prepare and watch DIY videos on the clutch job.
    Maybe I ordered a specific combination of the oil cap that was not currently stock and required building; not sure if it's outsourced.
    Did not want to pay the extra shipping cost of splitting oil cap and TOB kit into two orders to speed up TOB shipping.

    just changed serp belt and detected some play in the idler pulleys; they might make some noise but my loud chirping is probably TOB fwiw

    Has anyone installed this with The URD stage 2 clutch and heavy flywheel ? Was wondering if any extra shims were needed

    A little of this and a little of that.
    I just ordered the Clutch Masters TOB and oil cap!

    Thanks to @406cruiser for setting up the GB.

    I finished the install today on mine. Used a CM FX450 clutch and a URD light flywheel, no shims needed

    I'm impressed with this setup. Not 100% certain, but I think it takes less pedal effort than it did before on a stock clutch and setup, even with a 6 puck clutch

    Few more notes...remember to drain the tranny before pulling the driveshaft. Will make it lighter to handle and wont spill nasty oil everywhere.

    The pictures in the instructions have the "clutch masters" part of the slave cylinder hole plug pointing outwards towards the back of the transmission, but I found it to fit much better pointing forward

    Dont tighten down the bleed/feed fittings that are in the TOB when it arrives, those are already tight. 13mm open wrench to tighten the line to the fittings

    If you have a TRD/Maggy, you'll need to put the tranny back in all the way to give you enough room to install the clutch line in the back by the firewall. With crossmember and everything.

    Bleeding is quick and easy. If you're lazy, swap out the bleed line they give you for a much longer one. Makes life even easier. The supplied hardware is exactly correct though, nothing extra needed if youre only swapping out the TOB.

    If you do the mod right away before squeaking is an issue, it's far easier to install the TOB sleeve. Mine went on without any issue whatsoever.

    Use zip ties and/or those rubber c-clamps to hold the line away from the headers. I used one where the stupid accumulator mounted to the tranny to keep the line from rattling/scraping up against the inspection cover. The line they send replaces the factory accumulator altogether. Anyone want mine?

    Received mine today. Very impressed with the packaging and the quantity of what this product appears to be. The oil cap is awesome as well! Unfortunately I’m gonna stick with my expensive TRD cap so I’ll be selling mine.....

    Update on kits and shipping. Sounds like most of the kits have shipped except those ordered within the last week or so. Once again this group buy was more popular that I thought it would be the second time around and Clutch Masters has to make a few more of the bearing kits to fulfill all the orders. They're on it though! Since tomorrow is the last day to place an order, everyone who has placed an order within the last week up to tomorrow will be getting their kits ASAP. For sure by the end of next week all orders will be fulfilled and shipped!

    The fact it was so popular so quickly without much advertising/getting the word out is one of the biggest reasons we're pivoting our entire business to cater more offerings to this crowd!
