    Thank god.
    I thought my squeaky clutch pedal was just something that i was going to have to live with. I had been trying to lube the squeak for months.
    I didnt know there was a fix till now.

    just changed the blown factory tweeters with some audio bahn replacements. also changed my oil for the 1st time since i switched over to synthetic 3,000 miles ago (125,000miles on the truck) and man was that stuff black! Im glad i didnt wait any longer to change it. Lastly, fought with the damn FRAM oil filter for 45 minutes becuase it would NOT come off.

    That clutch bushing is a real easy fix, I did mine a couple months ago with the factory replacement and it seems to be holding up great.

    it sure is! I saw this clutch mod for the first time today, and I just did it. it's f*cking awesome! nice and quiet, I used a stronger spring so my clutch is a tiny bit heavier now, but in a good way

    i got my exhaust installed years ago and the shop that did the work ran mine through the leaf springs and i was pretty PO'ed when i picked it up but didnt have time for them to fix it right away and it bent the rear panels a little and you can see on the exhaust tip where it was smashed so i had them re-route them. just a heads up you might want to get them run below the leafs

    yes it does, it feels better than before.

    I never liked the way my clutch felt, and it now seems a lot easier to use.

    I think I'm going to get a brake pedal spring and put that in for the long term.
    I bought a 5 3/4'' long spring because it was the closest the store had, then I cut it down, but I think the brake pedal spring is a better choice for the long term, and should fit just right.
