[6pack] New Clutch

[alan salvatore]

I've used the Sachs and the Lux clutch kits with good results with the RHP

The key is to get the Bronze sleeve.
There has been a rash of bad stock sleeves. The tolerance is too small and
as they heat up they bind.
I recently got one the wouldn't even fit on the  transmission snout.
