[rescue] OT: jobops in austin and dallas

[Shawn Wallbridge]

My Centerforce Dual Friction clutch is pretty much on or off as well. It
took me a while to get used to it after having the mushy factory clutch for
years. But the Centerforce was well worth the money. Unfortunately I am
going to be selling my car in the spring.

it freaked me out when i first got the 7 and checked the oil a couple
weeks later after a change and it was much lower.  then i find out their
designed to burn oil... whew.  but when i started getting coolant in the
exhuast fumes as well i knew i was screwed :\


note on the cluthless shifting.  i'm sure it's much harder on mine since
it is a racing clutch... i was so surprised when i drove my brother's
accord around at how the clutch was like butter.  very forgiving and
smooth.  i seem to have a binary cluth
