Well you have to pull the clutch basket and that part is easy ...BUT putting the basket back in is a problem ...The basket has a spring loaded ring gear and you need the factory tool to align the basket ring gears .. I has able to do it without the factory tool but i had to have an extra set of hands to do the job ..

I have been told the factory pro shift star kit in addition to Brocks shift shafts really makes it much more positive engaugement.
I am tearing my engine down in next few days to build up for turbo.
Will be installing it along with rods, pistons, FBG back cut trans, 2 stage lockup, and the list goes on.

I would hate to pay 170.00 for a freaking spring! I just might hang loose for a while till I get more feedback on the kit.
