Not good results."Where does it point to the real problems in that title.You are correct that from reading the thread that edit didn't cause the problems, but the title gave a different impression, which is what Martin was pointing out.In any case there's no sh*t fight and the title has now been changed so on with the thread...

Only 240rwkw and the clutch let go, that's weird. I have 305rwkw on my standard T5 clutch and its still fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
