So I'm finally installing my Newly built big in big out wide ratio top loader in my station wagon and I decided to check the clutch (Centerforce Dual Friction) and pilot bushing while I was that far into it. Lots of wear on both. I was never really happy with the clutch anyway so I want to try the RAM 98988 3 finger clutch ($599.00 on Amazon). Has anyone tried it out? Any reviews?

I used this clutch a couple times. Both times I rebuilt the clutch pedal assembly with a kit from Mustang Steve to use roller bearings and a new clutch / brake pedal shaft, and an NOS Z - Bar. I thought it worked well.

I'm gonna give it a try. I ordered the clutch, pilot bushing & the pedal roller conversion.
