(input shaft)where in fact XR8s have fine spindles. its a part number error!so the aftermarket, and the factory clutch WONT fit.gahh.anyways they are calling up bulk manufacturers, including Texaustralia (or whatever its called) for a replacement clutchso the FG will be at ford until at least Wednesday = the 9th day at Ford for a replacement clutch.

Still would have liked to hear that they would honour the warranty . Anyway you may as well take the opportunity to get a decent clutch set up now.cheersHahaha born to drift.
